2.3.1 Before start up

Before your installation, please refer to the followings for your cabling:

100Base-TX

All 100Base-TX ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T

networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 100Base-TX ports, and then turn on the

FSD-804PS. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the

connected device.

Cabling

Each 10/100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair

cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T

networks can use Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100meters (328 feet).
