Cabling the Switch
After installing the switch, connect twisted pair cables to the Ethernet
ports. When connecting a twisted pair cable, observe the following
guidelines:
The 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 a
straight-through 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.
Use cable ties (not provided) to dress and bundle the Ethernet cables as
the distance increases away from switch.
The switch is now ready for network operations.
