As a Desktop Switch

LEGEND:
The Switch is designed to be used primarily as a desktop switch to which end
nodes, printers and other peripherals, and servers are directly connected, as
shown in the above illustration. Notice that the end node devices are
connected to the switch by "straight-through" or "crossover" twisted-pair
cables. Either cable type can be used because of the "IEEE Auto MDI/MDI-X"
features on the Switch.
