Connecting 10Base-T Ports And 10/100 Mda Ports - Nortel BayStack 410 24T Using Manual

Using the BayStack 410-24T 10BASE-T Switch

Connecting 10BASE-T Ports and 10/100 MDA Ports

Connect devices to the 10BASE-T ports and to the (optional) 10/100 MDA ports
as shown in
The 10BASE-T switch ports and the 10/100 MDA ports are configured with RJ-45
connectors that are wired as MDI-X ports. As in conventional Ethernet repeater
hubs, the BayStack 410-24T switch ports connect via straight-through cables to
the network interface card (NIC) in a node or server. When connecting to an
Ethernet hub or to another switch, you must use a crossover cable. See
Appendix D, "Connectors and Pin Assignments," for more information.
A standard RJ-45 connection is provided to connect devices to the switch through
the 10BASE-T ports and to the 10/100 MDA ports.
Note: The 10/100 MDA ports must use Category 5 UTP cable to
accommodate the 100BASE-TX functionality.
To connect the RJ-45 port cables, insert the cable plug into the appropriate port
connector until the release tab snaps into the locked position
