Connecting Network Devices - Asus GX1026i User Manual

Connecting network devices

GX1026i has an auto-MDI/MDIX crossover detection function and provides
plug-and-play capability. Just simply connect your computer and other network
devices to enjoy the switch's features.
To connect network devices to the GX1026i switch:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the switch front
panel. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port of the network device. Repeat
this step to connect additional network devices.
• We recommend the use of Category 5 Ethernet straight-through
cables to ensure proper connections between the switch and other
network devices.
• You can use either cross-over or straight-through cables to connect
other network devices such as bridges, switches, hubs, and
repeaters.
