2. Make sure the TXD signals from the SSR 2100 emerge as RXD signals on the
management console and the TXD signals from the management console emerge as
RXD signals on the SSR 2100.
3. After ensuring that the pin assignments on both ends of the connection are correct,
plug the appropriate end of the connection into the SSR 2100’s RJ-45 10/100Base-TX
port.
4. Plug the other end of the connection into the management console’s port.
5. When you are ready to configure the SSR 2100 using CoreWatch or SNMP, use
procedures in Chapter 4, “Installing and Starting Cabletron CoreWatch” on page 43 to
start an SNMP or CoreWatch management session.
Attaching Cables to Gigabit Ports
The 1000Base-SX ports on the Gigabit Modules support multimode fiber (MMF). The
Gigabit Modules use SC-style Media Interface Connectors (MICs) to attach to MMF
cables.
To attach the segment cables to the Gigabit Modules, obtain an MMF cable with an SC
MIC and plug the MIC into the port connector. When you plug the other end of the cable
into another device, make sure that the cable connected to the transmit port on the SSR
2100 is connected to the receive port on the other device. The receive port on the SSR 2100
should be connected to the transmit port on the other device.
a. The right hand column pin assignments are for the RJ-45 connector on the SSR 2100. Thus, pin 1 (TXD
or “transmit data”) must emerge on the management console’s end of the connection as RXD (“receive
data”) and so on.
