twisted pair connections while ports 3, 4, 5, and 7 are shielded twisted pair
connections.
In addition to complying with the 10BASE-T standard, each port provides
support for features that are beyond the scope of the 10BASE-T standard:
supports shielded twisted pair cable
allows Low Squelch level (which significantly increases achievable link
distances)
allows Link Integrity to be disabled (which allows connection to some
equipment which does not conform to the 10BASE-T standard)
Before installing the Ethernet 10BASE-T Module, read the ONline System
Concentrator Installation and Operation Guide.
Indicators
The 10BASE-T Module has eight Activity and eight Status LEDs on the front
panel that indicate the state of each port on the module. Figure 1-1 shows
the locations of these indicators and Table 1-1 describes how to read them.
