3.5.2 Connecting a UTP Segment to the FE-100TX
An FE-100TX installed in port 7 and/or 8 has an internal crossover
switch. When connecting a workstation, use a straight-through cable and
set the Fast Ethernet Interface Module crossover switch shown in
Figure 3-7 to the crossed over position marked with X. When connecting
networking devices, such as another bridge, repeater, or router, use a
straight-through cable and set the Fast Ethernet Interface Module
crossover switch shown in Figure 3-7 to the straight-through position (not
crossed over), marked with =.
Figure 3-7 FE-100TX Crossover Switch
A schematic of a crossover cable is shown in Figure 3-8. If a cross over is
required, but a crossover cable is not available, use the switch on the
FE-100TX to internally cross over the RJ45 port.

NOTE
To ensure proper operation, use only Category 5 Unshielded
Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling that has an impedance of 85 to
111 ohms.
