24-port NWay Ethernet Switch User's Guide
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch
via a two-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP straight cable.
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the
Switch via a two-pair Category 5e UTP/STP straight cable.
If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we
suggest connecting the other device' s Uplink (MDI-II) port to any
of the switch' s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the optional
Gigabit module ports) using a normal straight-through cable, as
shown below.
If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make
the connection with a normal straight-through cable from the
Uplink port on the switch to any normal crossed port on the hub.
Alternatively, if you have a crossover cable you can save the
Uplink ports for other connections and make this one from a
crossed port to another crossed port.

For a 10BASE-T device, the Switch' s LED indicators should
