Extreme CPE Product Manual 21
2.3.1 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN Port
The IDU provides one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 data port. This LAN port is
standard RJ-45 Ethernet network ports that connect directly to PCs. They can
also be connected to an Ethernet switch or hub to support more users.
The port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other
switches or hubs. Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum
transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) is selected
automatically.
2.3.2 ODU Port
The IDU includes one propriety 10 pin RJ-45 port that supports a
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connection to the ODU.
WARNING
The power injector module is designed for indoor use only. Never mount the power injector outside
with the Extreme CPE unit.
CAUTION
Do not connect a standard RJ-45 Category 5e cable to the ODU port or your unit will not function
correctly. Use only the provided propriety 10 PIN Ethernet cable with 10 PIN plug adapters.
CAUTION
Due to the DC current the unit draws from its power socket, DO NOT connect a PC to the RJ-45
Data and Power port.
NOTE
The Extreme CPE’s propriety Ethernet port does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) based on
the IEEE 802.3af standard. Do not try to power the unit by connecting it directly to a network switch
that provides IEEE 802.3af PoE. Always connect the unit to the included power injector module.
CAUTION
Due to the DC current the unit draws from its power socket, DO NOT connect a PC to the RJ-45
Data and Power port.
