C.2.5.3 Connecting Adapters with Token Ring Pinouts to Cabletron Switches
Like switches, some adapters use different pin assignments than those men-
tioned before. Connecting one of these adapters to a Cabletron Switch would
require the connections to be mapped as follows:
• Pin 3 to pin 1 in both directions.
• Pin 4 to pin 7 in both directions.
• Pin 5 to pin 8 in both directions.
• Pin 6 to pin 2 in both directions.
NOTE: The cable used in the connections shown in
sections 2 and 3 above must be either a UTP-3
or UTP-5 bidirectional crossover cable, with
8-pin male RJ-45 modular connectors at each
end.
