6. Network Connection
This switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100 or 1000Mbps network cards in PCs and
Servers, as well as to other switches and hubs.
Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you
can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network
device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both
ends. Use Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for
10BASE-T connections.
Connecting To Pcs, Servers, Hubs And Switches
1.
Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
2.
Attach the other end of the cable segment to an available port on the switch.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.
3.
As each connection is made, the relevant port LED (on the switch) corresponding to
each port will turn on green to indicate that the connection is valid.
