3.9.4 Connecting Twisted Pair Segments
The TPIM-T2 supports UTP cabling and the TPIM-T4 supports STP
cabling. Both devices use the same method for connecting an RJ45
connector to an RJ45 port. Before connecting a segment to the TPIM-T2
/T4, check each end of the segment to ensure the wires are pinned properly.
To connect a segment to a TPIM-T2/-T4:
1. Insert the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the RJ45
port on the TPIM as shown in Figure 3-16.
