Connecting the Unit

For FX/FXE units, remove the dust cap from the fiber optic connectors and connect the fiber optic cables.

The TX port on the FX/FXE models should be connected to the RX port of the far end station. The RX port

on the FX/FXE versions should be connected to the TX port of the far end station.

For 10/100 Base-TX ports, plug a Category 5E twisted pair cable into the RJ45 connector. Connect the

other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LEDs are ON once the connection has been completed.

To connect any port to another device (end node, Switch or Repeater), use a standard Category 5E straight

through or crossover cable with a

minimum length of one meter and a

maximum length of 100 meters..

N-Tron recommends the use of pre-

manufactured Cat5E cables to ensure the

best performance. If this is not an option

and users must terminate their own ends

on the Cat5E cables; one of the two color

coded standards shown to the right should

be utilized. If a user does not follow one

of these two color code standards then the

performance and maximum cable distance

will be reduced significantly, and may

prevent the switch from establishing a

link.

Warning: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation and

will create a broadcast storm which will crash the network!
