3. Hardware Installation

Start up
Please refer to the following for your cabling:
 10/100BASE-TX
All 10/100BASE-TX ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically
support 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a working
network device into one of the 10/100BASE-TX ports, and then turn on the FGSD-
1011HP. The port will automatically run in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps
after negotiating with the connected device.
 10/100/1000BASE-T
The 10/100/1000BASE-T port comes with Auto-Negotiation capability, which
automatically supports 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Users
only need to plug a working network device into the 10/100/1000BASE-T port, and
then turn on the PoE Ethernet Switch. The port will automatically run in 10Mbps,
20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps and 1000Mbps or 2000Mbps after negotiating with
the connected device.
 Cabling
Both 10/100BASE-TX and 10/100/1000BASE-T ports use RJ45 sockets -- similar to
the phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE
802.3/802.3u/802.3ab Fast/Gigabit Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for
100Mbps 100BASE-TX. 10BASE-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, 5 or 1000BASE-T
uses 5/5e/6 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100 meters (328 feet).

Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can be connected to the FGSD-1011HP by
using straight-through wires. The whole 10/100/1000 Mbps ports are auto-MDI/
MDI-X that can be used on straight-through or crossover cable.
