You must change a couple of network settings, but they are not
diffi cult if you take a couple of minutes to understand what is
going on.
Cable Drawings
All network 10/100 baseT cables use 8-conductor, unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) wire. Category 5 wiring should be free of tight
kinks and should be protected from pinches caused by fasteners,
staples, cable ties, etc. Loose excess cabling must not be coiled up
in loops. A cable from the hub to a PC may not exceed 328 feet in
length.
Standard Cable
Standard CAT5 cables are
used to connect PCs to the
network hub or network
switch. They are also used
to connect the WCC III –
MCD to a network hub,
network switch, or DSL/
Cable modem.
Crossover Cables (WattMaster Part # HZ000136 – 6 foot
long)
Crossover cables are
designed to connect hubs
together, expanding the
capacity of a network.
Crossover cables may also
be used to connect a single
Windows-based computer
to a WCC III – MCD without
the use of a network hub or
network switch.
RJ-45 Diagram
10/100 baseT cables use
RJ-45 connectors on the
ends. The diagram shows
how to determine the
correct pin numbers on
these RJ-45 connectors.
