CIDS Network Module LEDs Chapter 22 Connecting Cisco Intrusion Detection System Network Modules Connecting CIDS Network Modules to the Network To connect a CIDS network module to the network, use a straight-through two-pair Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to connect the RJ-45 port on the CIDS network module to a switch, hub, repeater, server, or other network device. (See Figure 22-2.) Note RJ-45 cables are not available from Cisco Systems. These cables are widely available and must be Category 5 cables. Caution To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety, connect the CIDS network module (NM-CIDS-K9) only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring or cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.

This LED indicates that the module has passed its self-tests and is available to the router. All CIDS network modules display an additional power (PWR) LED and a CompactFlash (CF) LED on the faceplate, and two additional LEDs for the Fast Ethernet port (see Figure 22-3 and Table 22-1). 22-2 Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide OL-2485-20
