Configure The Network Connection; Connecting Devices To The 24Port Switch; Connecting To Another Ethernet Switch/Hub - KTI Networks KS-324F Installation Manual

3. Configure the Network Connection

3.1 Connecting Devices to the 24port Switch

[ Connection Guidelines: ]
Use Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable when connecting 10BaseT
l
devices to the switch (cable pin assignments defined in Appendix A)
l Use Category 5 (straight-through) twisted-pair Ethernet cable when
connecting 100BaseTX devices to the switch (cable specifications are defined
in Appendix B)
Always limit the cable distance to 100 meters (328 ft) as defined by IEEE
l
specification
If your switch has a FX port, you can connect long distance fiber optic cable
l
to the switch.
l Because this switch supports Auto MDI/MDI-X detection, you can use normal
straight through cable for both workstation connection and hub/switch
FS
cascading.

3.2 Connecting to Another Ethernet Switch/Hub

This 24port Switch can be connected to existing 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
hubs/switches. Because all the TP ports on the 24port Switch are Auto
MDI/MDI-X, you can connect from any TP port of the 24port Switch to the
MDI or MDI-X port of another hub/switch with Straight Through or crossover
cables.
