GE A8950CC - Manual (Page 14)

2. Connect:
Connect Ethernet-capable equipment directly to the Ethernet module using CAT5 twisted-
pair cables with male RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Do not use breakout boxes.
Standard CAT5 cabling used for Ethernet is available with either straight-through or
crossover connections. Either variety may be used with the Ethernet module. The
auto-MDI/MDI-X feature of each port automatically detects the type of cable
connection to establish link.
3. Configure:
At power-up, every port has Auto-Negotiation enabled. This should work seamlessly
with most Ethernet equipment. However, if necessary, Auto-Negotiation, Link Speed
and Duplex can be configured manually via the Phoenix chassis’s front panel.
Refer to the section Front Panel Menu Tree and Descriptions for more information.
