B Access Point Port and Network Cables This appendix includes access point connector information and network cable information for cables that should be used with the Access Point 420, including minimum pin-out information and specifications for twisted-pair cables. Note Access Point Ports The fixed RJ-45 10/100Base-TX port on the access point accepts 100-ohm unshielded and shielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors as described on the next page.
Access Point Port and Network Cables Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs The access point includes one 10/100Base-TX port. This port uses MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration. You can therefore use “straightthrough” twisted-pair cable to connect this port to most network interconnec tion devices such as a switch or a router that provide MDI-X ports.
Access Point Port and Network Cables Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Straight-Through Twisted-Pair Cable for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connections Because the 10/100 port on the access point uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use “straight-through” cable for network connections to hubs or switches that only have MDI-X ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports auto-MDIX operation, you can use either “straightthrough” or “crossover” cable.
Access Point Port and Network Cables Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Crossover Twisted-Pair Cable for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Network Connection Because the 10/100 port on the access point uses an MDI pin configuration, you must use “crossover” cable for network connections to PCs, servers or other end nodes that only have MDI ports. However, if the device to which you are connecting supports auto-MDIX operation, you can use either “straightthrough” or “crossover” cable.
