To maximize performance, choose one of these methods for configuring the Ethernet ports:
• Let the ports autonegotiate both speed and duplex.
• Set the port speed and duplex parameters on both ends of the connection.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. When connecting to workstations, servers, and routers, connect a straight-through cable to an RJ-45
connector on the front panel.When connecting to routers or repeaters, use a crossover cable.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector on the other device. The port LED turns on when
both the router and the connected device have established link.
3. Reconfigure and reboot the connected device, if necessary.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to connect each device.
DETAILED STEPS
