To connect to the 10/100Base-T twisted pair ports on the AT-FS708/POE
switch, perform the following procedure:
1. Connect the twisted pair data cables to the RJ-45 ports on the switch,
as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Connecting the Twisted Pair Data Cables
2. Power on the end nodes. For more information, refer to "Powering on
the Switch" on page 45.
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:
An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
The ports on the switch are auto-MDI/MDI-X. You can use either a
straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable to connect any type
of network device to a port on the switch.
The network should not contain data loops, which can adversely
affect network performance. A data loop exists when two or more
network devices can communicate with each other over more than
one data path.
To cable an SFP transceiver, perform the following procedure:
