Refer to this figure as you perform the procedure. Figure 12 10/100 Cat 5 Cable Installation Ethernet port Ethernet cable (Cat 5 cable) MAP, switch, server or other device To connect to a MAP or other 10/100 Ethernet device: 1 Insert a Cat 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector: „ For direct connection to a MAP access point, use a straight-through cable. „ For connection to a router or to an end station such as a PC, printer, or server, use a straight-through cable. „ For connection to another switch, use a crossover cable. (For cable requirements, see "Network Cables" on page 26.) The 10/100 Ethernet ports on WXR100, WX1200, and WX2200 switches provide automatic MDI/MDX. 2 If the cable is directly attached to a MAP access point: „ For a first-time installation, set the port type to activate the link.

10/100 Cat 5 Cable Installation
To connect to a MAP or other 10/100 Ethernet device:
1
Insert a Cat 5 cable with a standard RJ-45 connector:
For direct connection to a MAP access point, use a straight-through
cable.
For connection to a router or to an end station such as a PC, printer,
or server, use a straight-through cable.
For connection to another switch, use a crossover cable. (For cable
