2.3 NETWORK CONNECTIONS
The VHSIM-G02 has two RJ45 connectors for the Gigabit Ethernet
connections, Port 1 and Port 2. The cable used for connections is 4-pair
Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair, conforming to the IEEE 802.3ab
specification. The maximum distance supported is 100 meters. Refer to
Appendix A for the pin assignments for the RJ45 port.
Connect a twisted pair segment to the Gigabit Ethernet port on the
VHSIM-G02 as follows:
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is
powered ON.
2. Connect the twisted pair segment to the VHSIM-G02 by inserting the
RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment directly into the RJ45 port
as shown in Figure 2-3.
