Connecting a Twisted Pair Port
・ Connection Cable
Use a CAT5E or higher straight cable (twisted pair cable) with 8P8C RJ45 modu
-
lar plugs.
・ Network Configuration
Figure 3-1 Connection configuration example
The length of the cable connecting this switch and a device must be 100 m or
shorter. When a terminal or a LAN device with auto-negotiation function is con
-
nected to a port, the port is automatically configured to the most appropriate per
-
formance mode. When a terminal or a device without auto-negotiation function is
connected to a port, this switch automatically determines and sets the communica
-
tion speed; however, the full-duplex/half-duplex configuration is set at half-duplex
because the full-duplex/half-duplex capability cannot be determined. When con
-
necting a terminal or a device without auto-negotiation function, set the connec
-
tion mode of the port to Fixed. For detailed configuration procedure, refer to
Section 5.1.3.
Note:
If connection mode is set to a fixed value, Auto-MDI/MDI-X function does not
work. Therefore, you need to use a cross cable for connections between
switches.
