Unpacking and Installing Your ELS100-16TX
2.6.1 Connecting UTP Cables
Before connecting a segment to the ELS100-16TX, check each end
of the segment to verify wire crossover.
Connect a twisted pair segment to the ELS100-16TX as follows:
1. Ensure that the device at the other end of the segment is
connected to the segment and is powered ON.
2. Refer to Figure 2-5. Connect the twisted pair segment to the
ELS100-16TX by inserting the RJ45 connector on the twisted
pair segment into the desired RJ45 port.

3. Verify that a Link exists by checking that the port LINK LED is
on (solid green). If the LINK LED is off, perform the following
steps until it is on:
a. Check that the 10/100 BASE-T device at the other end of
the twisted pair segment is ON and connected to the
segment.
Caution: To establish a link, you must have an odd number of crossovers
(preferably one) between 10/100 BASE-T devices of the same
type (i.e., from repeater to repeater or transceiver to
transceiver).
