Connecting the Router
to the Ethernet
The Router 5000 Family routers provide a fixed 100BASE-TX fast Ethernet port
that uses category-5 twisted pair cable.
Note the following before you connect:
■ The fixed Ethernet cables are supplied with the router.
■ Use shielded cables to ensure electromagnetic compatibility.
■ Identify the mark on the module so you can plug the cable in correctly.
■ When connecting the Ethernet cable to a LAN Switch, plug the cable into the
10/100BASE-T interface marked with MDIX.
To connect the Ethernet cable:
1 Turn off power to the router.
2 Select the Ethernet cable.
While connecting the router with a PC or a router, use the crossover network
cable.
When connecting the router to a hub or a LAN switch, use the straight-through
network cable.
3 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the appropriate Ethernet port on the
router.
4 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the network
device.
5 Verify the connection by checking that the 100M ETH LED on the top of the router
is on.
