10BASE-T Device

100BASE-TX Device

This chapter describes how to connect the DES-3350SR to your Ethernet/Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet network. The Switch's
auto-detection feature allows all 48 10/100 ports to support both MDI-II and MDI-X connections.
Switch to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100, or 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and
most routers.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP cable. The end node should be connected
to any of the ports (1x - 48x) on the switch.
The Link/Act LEDs in the top row for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. A blinking LED in the top row indicates
packet activity on that port.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.
•
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
