The Cat 5 cable will need to be terminated at each end with an RJ-45 modular plug.
This termination should be performed by a technician who is experienced in
assembling network cables as a slight misalignment in the wire termination can cause
communications problems. For reference, provides guidelines for terminating a
network cable with a modular RJ-45 plug.
The Network (Ethernet) port is located at the bottom edge of the carrier board as
shown in Figure 16. There should be a surge suppressor installed in the Ethernet
port. Insert the terminated CAT 5 cable into the other end of the surge protector. The
facility end of the Cat-5 cable connects to one of the LAN ports on the Unitec router.
The router’s WAN port should be connected to the Internet Service device (e.g. DSL
or Cable modem). Other Unitec devices may need to be connected to the router’s
LAN ports. Refer to 6 for details on connecting devices to the router.
