To connect a device to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet, PoE/PoE+ port, follow these
steps.
1. Choose one of these options:
• If the auto-MDIX feature is enabled, connect either a crossover or
straight-through cable to an RJ45 connector on the front panel. The
default setting for auto-MDIX is enabled.
• If auto-MDIX is disabled, use the following guidelines to choose the
cable for connecting the 10/100/1000Ethernet ports to other
devices.
Device
Switch to switch
Switch to hub
Switch to computer or server
Switch to router
(1) 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T traffic requires twisted four-pair, Category 5, Category 5e, or Category 6 cable. 10BASE-T traffic
uses Category 3 or Category 4 cable.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ45 connector on the other
device.
The port status indicator turns on when both the switch and the
connected device have an established link.
The port status indicator is amber while Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
discovers the topology and searches for loops. This process can take as
long as 30 seconds, and then the Port status indicator turns green.
The following conditions can prevent the Port status indicator from
turning On:
• The device at the other end is not turned On.
• A problem exists with a cable or the adapter that is installed in the
attached device.
3. Reconfigure and restart the connected device if necessary.
4. To connect another device, repeat this procedure.
