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, or 5 UTP/STP cable.
The end node should be connected to any of the 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.
