3. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX (Receive) LED is ON (flashing amber,
blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED is OFF and the TX (Transmit) LED is not
blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on:
a. Verify that the cabling being used is Category 5 UTP with an impedance between 85 and
111 ohms. If the port is to operate at 1000 Mbps, category 5 cabling must be used.
b. Verify that the device at the other end of the twisted pair segment is on and properly
connected to the segment.
c. Verify that the RJ45 connectors on the twisted pair segment have the proper pinouts and
check the cable for continuity. Typically, a crossover cable is used between hub devices. A
straight-through cable is used to connect between switches or hub devices and an end user
(computer). Refer to Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10 for four-wire RJ45 connections. Refer to
Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12 for eight-wire RJ45 connections.
d. If a link is not established, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” in About
This Guide for details.
4. Repeat all the steps above until all connections have been made.
