Connecting Ethernet
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer or host
system to the Management port of TOUGHSwitch A.
Note: By default, you can configure the
TOUGHSwitch via any port; however, we
recommend the Management port. (Access to
the Configuration Interface can be limited to the
Management port only. You can configure this
setting on the Device tab.)
2. Connect Ethernet cables from the Ethernet ports
of your devices to the numbered ports of each
TOUGHSwitch.
Note: PoE is disabled by default on all numbered
ports and is not available on the Management
port. To enable PoE on the appropriate ports, use
the Ports tab in the Configuration Interface (see
"PoE" on page 24).
3. Uplink options are described in the following section.
After you have finished the installation, proceed to
"Configuring the TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER" on
page 12.

Uplink Options
The TOUGHSwitch PoE CARRIER functions as two separate
switches. All data ports are available as uplink ports, so
you have the following two options:
Daisy-Chain Option
If you want to daisy‑chain TOUGHSwitch A and B, we
recommend that you connect an Ethernet cable from port
8 of TOUGHSwitch A to port 1 of TOUGHSwitch B. (For
clarity, the other cables are not shown in the illustration.)
Uplink to Core Switch Option
If you want to uplink TOUGHSwitch A and B to an
independent core switch, follow these instructions:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable from any numbered port of
TOUGHSwitch A to a port on the core switch.
2. Connect another Ethernet cable from any numbered
port of TOUGHSwitch B to a port on the core switch.
Note: For clarity, the other cables connected to the
switches are not shown, except for a cable from
the EdgeRouter to the core switch.
