Connecting the Switch

PC to DSS-16+

A computer can be connected to the DSS-16+ via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover
cable. A computer equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps port can be connected to any of the sixteen DSS-16+ ports.
The LED indicators for the PC connection depend on the capability of the computer's Ethernet card. If the LED indicators
are not lit after making a proper connection, check the computer's Ethernet card, the cable, and the DSS-16+'s conditions
and connections.

Hub/Switch to DSS-16+

A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the DSS-16+ via a two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP
Straight-Through or Crossover cable. For 100Mbps operation a Category 5 cable must be used. The connection is
accomplished from any port of the hub to any port of the DSS-16+.

DSS-16+ to Other Devices

The DSS-16+ can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4,
5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A Category 5 (or higher) cable must be used for 100Mbps operation.
The connection can be accomplished from any (MDI-X) port on the DSS-16+ to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps
(MDI-X) ports on another switch or other devices.
