transceivers, as well as 10 and 25 Gbps transceivers through special adapters.
For more information, see the E3125 Data Sheets.
Procedure
Insert the RJ45 connector on the
twisted pair segment into the RJ45 port.
Check that the activity link LED
is On.
A solid green LED or a blinking green LED indicates that the port is
connected and active.
If the activity link LED is Off, perform the following steps:
Verify that the cabling
being used is Category 5 or better. Use Category 6 or better for 10Gbps
connection. The cabling should have an impedance between 85 and 111 ohms
and a maximum length of 100 meters (328 feet).
Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is
turned on and is properly connected to the segment.
Verify that the RJ45
connectors on the twisted pair segment have the proper pin outs, and
check the cable for continuity.
