3.5 CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK
This section provides the procedures for connecting Twisted Pair and fiber
optic segments from the network or other devices to the 6H122-08.
Ports 1 through 6 on the 6H122-08 have RJ45 connectors for Twisted Pair
connections. Ports 7 and 8 support FE-100TX, FE-100FX, or FE-100F3
Fast Ethernet Interface Modules. The FE-100TX has an RJ45 connector
for a Twisted Pair cable connection. The FE-100FX and FE-100F3 have
SC connectors for fiber optic cable connections.
Refer to Section 3.5.1 to make Twisted Pair connections to ports 1
through 6.
Refer to Section 3.5.2 to make a Twisted Pair connection to an FE-100TX
in port slot 7 or 8.
Refer to Section 3.5.3 to make a fiber optic cable connection to an
FE-100FX or FE-100F3 in port slot 7 or 8.
3.5.1 Connecting Twisted Pair Cables to Ports 1
Through 6
Ports 1 through 6 of the 6H122-08 are 10/100 ports with internal
crossovers. When connecting a workstation, use a straight-through cable.
When connecting networking devices, such as another bridge, repeater, or
router, use a crossover cable.
Connect a Twisted Pair segment to the 6H122-08 as follows:
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is
powered ON.
2. Connect the Twisted Pair segment to the 6H122-08 by inserting the
RJ45 connector on the Twisted Pair segment into the desired RJ45 port
(Ports 1 through 6) shown in
Figure 3-2 .
