Cabling the Switch

After installing the switch on the desktop, connect twisted pair cables to
the ports on the GS920 Series switch.

When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:

– An 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 configure for

auto-MDI/MDI-X out of the shipping box. 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.
