Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments
For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections to the management port, a
twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified
by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the
other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached
to both ends of the cable.
Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a
specific orientation.
Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform with FCC standards.
Figure B-1 illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered.
Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the
wires to the pins.
