T roubleshooting This section is intended to help you solve the most common problems on MSL-3S79. Incorrect connections The switch port can automatically detect straight or crossover cable when you link switch with other Ethernet device. As for RJ-45 connection, you should use correct UTP or STP cable that 10/100/1000Mbps port uses 2-pairs twisted cable and Gigabit 1000T port uses 4 pairs twisted cable.
