Use the following procedure to connect an Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 receptacle.
Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to your transceiver, switch, hub,
repeater, DTE, or other external equipment.
The Ethernet interfaces on the GRP are endstation devices only, not
Note
repeaters.
The MII receptacle requires an external transceiver that permits connection to
multimode fiber for 100BASE-FX or 100BASE-T4 physical media. Depending on
the type of media you use between the MII receptacle and your switch or hub, the
network side of your 100-Mbps transceiver should be appropriately equipped with
ST-type connectors (for fiber-optic cables), BNC connectors, and so forth.
Use the following procedure to connect a cable to the MII Ethernet receptacle on
the GRP.
Connect the cable directly to the MII receptacle, or attach a 100BASE-T
transceiver (with the media appropriate to your application) to the MII receptacle.
Connect the network end of your MII cable to your transceiver, switch, hub,
repeater, DTE, or other external equipment.
The Ethernet interfaces on the GRP are endstation devices only, not
