♦ A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the
Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP
straight cable.
♦ A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the
Switch via a four-pair Category 5 UTP/STP straight cable.
If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we
suggest connecting the other device's Uplink (MDI-II) port to
any of the switch's (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the
100BASE-TX module ports) using a normal straight-through
cable, as shown below.
If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make
the connection with a normal straight-through cable from one
of the Uplink ports on the switch to any normal crossed port
on the hub. Alternatively, if you have a crossover cable you can
save the Uplink ports for other connections and make this one
from a crossed port to another crossed port.

or switch using a straight or crossover cable
10BASE-T Device
For a 10BASE-T device, the Switch's LED indicators should
display the following:
♦ 100M LED speed indicator is OFF.
