Connecting to Ground
The switch must be properly grounded for optimum system performance.
Connecting to Ethernet Interfaces (RJ-45)
Connecting the Ethernet interface via RJ-45:
To connect to a PC, use a straight-through or a cross-over Ethernet cable,
•
To connect the switch to an Ethernet device, use UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP (Shielded
•
Twisted Pair) Ethernet cables .
The pin assignment of the RJ-45 connector is shown in the following figure and table.
Connecting to Fiber Interfaces (SFP)
Please prepare the LC connectors or SC connectors (with the use of an optional SC-to-LC adapter). These
adapters are available with multimode, single mode, long-haul (for connections up to 120+ km) or in the form
of special-application transceivers.
For each fiber port there is a transmit (TX) and receive (RX) signal. Please make sure that the transmit (TX)
port of the switch connects to the receive (RX) port of the other device, and the receive (RX) port of the
switch connects to the transmit (TX) port of the other device when making your fiber optic connections.
