6. Connect the Network Cables

Using RJ-45 Connectors (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps ports)

To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 jack
until the tab on the plug clicks into place.
When power is on for the switch and for
the connected device, the Link LED for
the port should light to confirm a
powered-on device (for example, an end
node) is at the other end of the cable.
If the Link LED does not go on when
the network cable is connected to the
port, see "Diagnosing With the LEDs"
in chapter 3, "Troubleshooting".
To disconnect:
Press the small tab on the plug and pull
the plug out of the jack.
