Connecting Twisted-Pair Cable
Each RJ-45 port on the repeater can accept a standard 8-wire twisted-pair
(UTP) cable that ends with an RJ-45 connector. These ports can support cable
lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).
To attach twisted-pair cable, plug one of the RJ-45 connectors into the
selected port on the repeater. Connect the other RJ-45 connector into a
100Base-TX or 10Base-T workstation.

Setting the Uplink Switches
The uplink switches enable the 1st and 12th ports on the repeater to function
as either standard IN RJ-45 ports or uplinkable OUT RJ-45 ports.
IN ports use an internal crossover of the receive and transmit lines, enabling
the port to connect to a network interface card using standard 8-wire UTP
cable. OUT ports let you interconnect the repeater and another repeater
without the need for special crossover cables and allows the two repeaters to
be on the same segment.
