2.3 Ethernet Ports
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): The RJ-45 port is auto-sensing for 10/100Base-Tx or 1000Base-
Tx device connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that the wireless AP can connect to another switch
or workstation without changing the straight-through or crossover cabling. See the figures shown
below for the straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.
Figure 2.3: RJ-45 Ethernet Port Pin
2.4 Cabling
Twisted-pair segments can be connected with an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded
Twisted Pair (STP) cable. The cable between the equipment and the link partner (wireless AP,
switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
