Connecting The Switch

Switch To End Node

Switch To Hub or Switch

Connecting To a Server
NOTE: All 8 high -performance NWay Ethernet ports can support both
MDI-II and MDI-X connections.
Switch To End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)
and most routers.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. The end node can be
connected to any of the ports of the Switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. The LED over the port label indicates a port
speed of either 10/100 Mbps or 1000Mbps. A blinking LED on the bottom indicates packet activity on that port.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable.
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP
cable.
A 100BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable.
