4-1-2 Connecting to the Network

To connect the switch to the network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports of
the switch. The LED of the port will light up to indicate active connection.
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for the devices to be connected to the switch.
We strongly recommend using CAT-5E or better cable to connect network devices.
When connecting network devices, do not exceed the maximum cabling distance of
100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to one minute for the connected devices or the
LAN to be operational after it is connected. This is normal behavior.
Connect the switch to end nodes using a standard Cat 5/5e Ethernet cable (UTP/STP) as
shown in the illustration below.
Switch ports will automatically adjust to the characteristics (MDI/MDI-X, speed, duplex) of the
device to which the switch is connected.
