Section 3 - Installation

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 Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e

UTP/STP cable. The end node can be connected to any of the ports of the Switch.

The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. The LED over the port label indicates a port

speed of either 10/100 Mbps or 1000Mbps. A blinking LED on the bottom indicates packet activity on that port.

These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable.

• A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e

UTP/STP cable.

• A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5 UTP/STP

cable.

• A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5e or better UTP/

STP cable.

Any of the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.
