End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ 45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card
(NIC) and most routers. An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, or 5
UTP/STP cable. The end node should be connected to any of the ports of the Switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light green or amber when the link is valid. A blinking LED indicates packet
activity on that port.
