3.1. Connecting a Twisted Pair Port
● Connection Cable
Use a CAT5e-compliant straight cable (twisted pair) with 8P8C RJ45 modular plugs
when connecting.
● Network Configuration
100 m or shorter
100 m or shorter
100 m or shorter
Figure 3-1 Connection configuration example
The length of the cable connecting this Switching Hub and a device must be 100m
or shorter. When a terminal or a LAN device with auto negotiation function is con
-
nected to this Switching Hub, the port is automatically configured at the highest
performance mode. When a terminal or a LAN device without auto negotiation
function is connected to this Switching Hub, this Switching Hub automatically
determines and sets the communication speed; however, the full-duplex/half-
duplex configuration is set at half-duplex because the full-duplex/half-duplex capa
-
bility cannot be determined. When connecting a terminal or a LAN device without
auto negotiation function, a fixed-mode port configuration needs to be set. For
detailed configuration procedure, refer to Section 4.5.4.
Note:
If a fixed-mode port configuration mode is set, Auto MDI/MDI-X function
does not work. Therefore, use a cross cable to connect them.
