CABLES
Ethernet Cable
Straight-through Cable
Caution:DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-
45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform to FCC standards.
For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair
cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identi-
fied by two different colors. For example, one wire might be
red and the other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45
connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. All
RJ-45 ports on the Gateway support automatic MDI/MDI-X
configuration. This means that you can use straight- through
cable to attach to any network device.
The Ethernet cable you use on the Gateway can be wired
straight through for Pins 1, 2, 3 and 6, matching the same
pins at the both ends of the cable. Pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not
used.
