3-1 Switch To End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000Mbps RJ45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable.The end node should be connected to any of the 24 1000T ports of the Switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light green or amber when the link is valid.A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port.
3-2 Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.
• A 10T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
• A 100TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
• A 1000T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
• A switch supporting a fibre-optic uplink can be connected to the Switch's SFP ports via fibre-optic cabling.
