2. If the device is a network card and this switch is in the wiring closet,
attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that
is connected to the wiring closet. (See "Wiring Closet Connections"
on the next page.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port
on the switch.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft)
in length.
Note: 1. When connected to a shared collision domain (such as a hub
with multiple workstations), switch ports must be set to
half-duplex mode.
2. Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it
is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure
jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the
segment attached to the hub.
3. As each connection is made, the green Link LED (on the switch front
panel) corresponding to each port will light to indicate that the
connection is valid.
