Appendix E: Twisted-Pair
Cabling
There are different grades, or “categories,” of twisted-pair cabling. Category 5
is the most reliable and most highly recommended. Straight-through cables are
used for connecting computers to a hub. Crossover cables are used for con-
necting a hub to another hub (there is an exception: some hubs have a built-in
uplink port that is crossed internally; this allows you to link or connect hubs
together with a straight-through cable instead).
You can buy pre-made Category 5
cables, or cut and crimp your own.
Category 5 cables can be purchased or
crimped as either straight-through or
crossover. Inside a Category 5 cable
are eight thin, color-coded wires
inside that run from one end of the
cable to the other. All eight wires are
used. In a straight-through cable,
wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at one end of the
cable are also wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 at
the other end. In a crossover cable, the
order of the wires change from one
end to the other: wire 1 becomes 3,
and 2 becomes 6. See Figures E-3 and
E-4 on the next page for
more detailed informa-
tion on straight-through
and crossover cabling.
To determine which wire is wire number 1, hold the cable
so that the end of the plastic RJ-45 tip (the part that goes
into a wall jack first) is facing away from you. Face the
clip down so that the copper side faces up (the springy clip
will now be parallel to the floor).
When looking down on
the copper side, wire 1 will be on the far left.

Write down the Adapter Address as shown on your computer screen (see
Figure F-3).
This is the MAC address for your Ethernet adapter and will be
shown as a series of numbers and letters.
The MAC address/Adapter Address is what you will use for the Router’s
MAC Address Cloning or MAC Filtering.
The example in Figure F-3 shows the IP address of your Ethernet adapter
as 192.168.1.100. Your computer may show something different.

Appendix F: Finding the MAC
Address and IP Address for Your
Ethernet Adapter
This appendix describes how to find the MAC address for your Ethernet
adapter to do either MAC Filtering or MAC Address Cloning.
You can also
find the IP address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter.
The IP address is used
for filtering, forwarding, and DMZ hosting.
Find your Windows operating sys-
tem and follow the steps in this appendix to find the MAC address or IP address
for your adapter.
For Windows 95, 98, and Me:
1. Click on
Start
and choose
Run
. In the Open field, enter
winipcfg
. Then,
press the
Enter
key or click on the
OK
button.
2. When the IP Configuration window appears, select the Ethernet adapter
that you are using.
