Connecting a Twisted Pair Segment to the
FE-100TX

An FE-100TX installed in port slot 7 and/or 8 has an internal crossover
switch. When connecting a workstation, use a straight-through cable and
set the Fast Ethernet Interface Module crossover switch shown in

Figure 3-6

to the straight-through position marked with =. To connect

networking devices, such as another switch, repeater, or router, use a
crossover cable or flip the crossover switch to the crossed over position
marked with an X as shown in

Figure 3-6

.

FE-100TX Crossover Switch

A schematic of a crossover cable is shown in

Figure 3-7

. If the wires do

not cross over, use the switch on the FE-100TX to internally cross over
the RJ45 port.

To ensure proper operation, use only Category 5 Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling that has an impedance of 85 to
111 ohms.
