Making Network Connections

The switch is designed to be connected to 10, 100, or 1000Mbps network cards in
PCs and servers, as well as, to other switches and hubs. It may also be connected to
remote devices using optional SFP transceivers.
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors
at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, and
Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections.
Cabling Guidelines
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pin-out configuration,
so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any
other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
CAUTION:
port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair
cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches
Step1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device's RJ-45
