Connecting the Switch

To connect network devices to the switch, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure all the devices you will connect to the switch are powered off.
2. For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the
numbered ports on the switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e Ethernet
network cable to one of the numbered ports on the switch.
3. Connect the other end to a PC or other network device.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices. If pre-standard or 802.3af-compliant
PoE devices are connected to the switch's 10/100/1000 ports, the switch automatically
supplies the required power.
5. If you are using a miniGBIC port, then connect a miniGBIC module to a miniGBIC port. For
detailed instructions, refer to the module's documentation.

Connect the other end to your PC's serial port. (This PC must be running a VT100 terminal
emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.)
