This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast
Ethernet network.

PC to Switch

You can connect a PC to the Switch via a two-pair
Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable. You can connect the PC
(equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps jack) to any of the
ports. When connecting PC to the Switch, the Switch's Port
LED indicator will light according to the network adapter's
connection speed. If the port LED indicator does not light
after making a proper connection, check the PC network
card, the cable, and the Switch's functionality.

Hub to Switch

A hub (10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the
Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable (use
Category 5 for 100Mbps connection). The connection is
accomplished from the any RJ-45 port on the hub to any RJ-45
port on the Switch. After connecting the hub to the Switch, the
Switch's Port LED indicator will light according to the hub's
connection speed. If the port LED indicator does not light after
making a proper connection, check the hub, the cable, and the
Switch's functionality. Each port on the Switch has auto-MDI
function; you can make the connection using crossover or
straight through cable with uplink port or regular port from the
hub.
