When connecting a workstation, use astraight-through cable. When connecting networking devices, such asanother bridge, repeater, or router, use a crossover cable.To connect an RJ45 twisted pair segment, proceed as follows:1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment ispowered ON.2. Connect the twisted pair segment to the 2E42-27 by inserting the RJ45connector on the twisted pair segment into the desired RJ45 port (Ports1 through 24) as shown in Figure 3-6..Figure 3-6 2E42-27/2E42-27R Twisted Pair Connection3. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX LED is ON(flashing yellow, blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED isOFF and the TX LED is not blinking yellow, perform the followingsteps until it is on:a.
