Connecting Cisco IDS Network Modules to the Network
To connect a Cisco IDS network module to the network, use a straight-through two-pair Category 5
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to connect the RJ-45 port on the Cisco IDS network module to a
switch, hub, repeater, server, or other network device. (See

Caution
To comply with the Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic compatibility and safety,
connect the Cisco IDS network module (NM-CIDS-K9) only to intrabuilding or nonexposed wiring or
cabling. The intrabuilding cable must be shielded and the shield must be grounded at both ends.
