DSS-8+
CONNECTING THE

Computer to DSS-8+

A computer can be connected to the DSS-8+ via a two-pair
Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A
computer equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps port can be
connected to any of the eight DSS-8+ ports.
The LED indicators for the computer connection depend on the
capability of the computer's Ethernet card. If the LED indicators are
not lit after making a proper connection, check the computer's
Ethernet card, the cable, or the DSS-8+'s conditions and
connections.

Hub to DSS-8+

A hub (10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the DSS-
8+ via a two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or
Crossover cable. For 100Mbps operation a Category 5 cable must
be used. The connection is accomplished from any port of the hub
to any port of the DSS-8+.

DSS-8+ to other devices

The DSS-8+ can be connected to another switch or other devices
(routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP
Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A Category 5 cable must be
used for 100Mbps operation. The connection can be accomplished
from any (MDI-X) port on the DSS-8+ to any of the 10Mbps or
100Mbps (MDI-X) ports on another switch or other devices.
