Switch to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ 45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most
routers.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. The end node should be connected to any
of the 10/100BASE-T ports of the Switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light green or amber when the link is valid. A blinking LED indicates packet
activity on that port.
NOTE: All high-performance N-Way Ethernet ports can support both MDI-
II and MDI-X connections.
