RJ45 Connector Crimp Specifications
Please reference the illustration below for your Cat5 cable specifications:
Connecting the Unit
For FX/FXE units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables. The TX
port on the FX/FXE models should be connected to the RX port of the far end station. The RX port on the
FX/FXE versions should be connected to the TX port of the far end station.
For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the other end
to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED‟s are ON once the connection has been completed. To connect
any other port to another Switch or Repeater, use a standard Category 5 straight through or crossover cable.
Warning: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation and will create a
broadcast storm which will crash the network!
Note: For units which have the N-View Option (-N), you can validate that all ports are working correctly by
installing the N-View OPC Server software. The software is freely distributed on the ProductCD and our website
). Once the software is installed, you should view the Ports
Counter page to remotely monitor each connected port. You may find it helpful to copy [Alt]+[Print Screen] the
Port Counter information for each port and paste [Control]+[V] into a Windows document for further review.
Please consult your N-View OPC Server Manual for additional information.
