1. Connect the probe’s 10Base-T/100Base-TX (RJ-45) port, located on the rear
panel, to the network using a category 5 cable. Figure 3-5 shows how to
connect the probe to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX network.
2. Select RJ-45 as the Physical Connector parameter from the Modify/View
Interface Values menu. Refer to Step 1 on page 25 for information on
configuring the Physical Connector parameter.
3. If you are connecting to a device that supports the auto-negotiation protocol,
select Auto Negotiate for the Link Speed parameter from the Modify/View
Interface Values menu. Otherwise, select 10MB/s (for 10MB/s Ethernet) or
100MB/s (for 100MB/s Ethernet). Refer to Step 1 on page 25 for
information on configuring the Link Speed parameter.
The probe will automatically negotiate the speed of the interface if the Link
Speed parameter is set to Auto Negotiate and if the connected device
supports the auto-negotiation protocol.
4. If you selected 10MB/s or 100MB/s for the Link Speed parameter, you must
also select Half-Duplex for the Full/Half Duplex parameter from the
Modify/View Interface Values menu. Refer to Step 1 on page 25 for
information on configuring the Full/Half Duplex parameter.
