Connect to the Data Ports

Depending on the model, your switch can have
the following ports:
8, 12, or 16 10/100Base-TX ports

 0, 1, 2, or 4 100Base-FX ports
0, 1, or 2 Gigabit ports

10/100Base and 1000Base-FX Ports
These ports come in 10/100Base-TX/FX/BX/SFP
interfaces. You can connect these ports to
devices such as an IP surveillance camera or a
Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone.
A.
Insert one end of an appropriate cable into a
switch port.
B.
Connect the other end into the Ethernet port
of the device.
C.
Repeat steps A and B for each additional
device you want to connect to the switch.
Gigabit Ports
Some switch models have 10/100/1000Base-TX
ports with no Gigabit fiber ports, combo
10/100/1000Base-TX ports with 1000Base-
SX/LX/BX ports, or 1000Base-SFP with
10/100/1000Base-TX ports. You can connect
these ports to network devices such as a
computer, printer, network video recorder
(NVR), network storage, or they can connect to
the network itself.
Combo ports operate in "either/or" fashion. This
means that attaching to a 1 Gbps combo port
