Figure 18. Plugging an ethernet cable into a 10/100BASE-TX port
To attach segment cables to your 10/100BASE-TX ports:
1. For all the 10/100-Mbps ports, obtain copper cables that have the following pin
assignments. The RJ-45 connectors on the 10/100 ports are configured as Media Data
Interface Crossed (MDIX). You can use Category 3 (Cat-3) or higher wire for 10-Mbps
segments. For 100-Mbps segments, use Cat-5 or higher wire. The ports automatically
sense to which type of segment they are connected and configure themselves to
transmit and receive at the appropriate bandwidth.

a. The right hand column pin assignments are for the RJ-45 connector on the XP-2000. 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.
