Re: Cable connection from a 2502---> Andrew mau?? [7:11961]
Yes. use a device known as a type 3 media filter - it's a DB-9 male connector that converts to an RJ-45 (basically, an STP to UTP converter) It has electronic components in it, so don't try to use a standard DB-9 PC Serial type connector. You can't fake a Token Ring interface into an up/up state with no keepalive. It needs to be physically inserted into a ring. If you have 2 2502's, you'll need 2 media filters.

the pins that are used on the rj45 side are 3,4,5,6, on the db-9 the pins that are used are the two outermost pins on each side, looking at it horizontally. look on the web for the pinouts, thats where i found them, though i dont remember the site, then go to radio shack, buy a db-9 connector, and do it yourself =) it worked when i did it =P -Peter -Original Message- From: Cisco Nuts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 12:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cable connection from a 2502---> Andrew mau??

RE: Cable connection from a 2502---> Andrew mau?? [7:11961]
Hold on before you do anything. If you connect something wrong to your MAU, there's a great chance of burning one of the fuses in there, so be sure you have the right cable and converter. The media filter is a converter that plugs in to the DB9, and that has a jack for an RJ45 cable. Once you got that, you can use a normal (straight through) CAT5 cable to your MAU. I am not familiar with your MAU, but if it's not an advanced one, you might have to place a CAT5 cable from the OUT port to the IN port in order to "close" the ring.

RE: Cable connection from a 2502---> Andrew mau?? [7:11961]
Transmit pairs are 3 and 6, and Receive are 4 and 5 for Token Ring RJ45 interfaces. Fabricate a patch cable pinned out to the 568-B wiring standard on one end, and change the other end to cross transmit an receive pairs.

Another approach, if you're interested, is to fabricate a loopback plug. Use the same concept, but apply it to a single RJ45 plug. What you should end up with is a plug that has one wire connecting pin 3 to pin 5, and pin 4 to pin 6. See if that will put your interface in to looped mode when you do a show interface. Hope this helps.
