10Base-T Ports
To connect a 10Base-T port on the ReadySwitch to a 10Base-T repeater/hub or to another Ready-
Switch, use a UTP (unshielded twisted-pair)
crossover cable
. See Figure 1.
To connect a 10Base-T port on the ReadySwitch to a network station, use a UTP
straight-through
cab
le
.
See Figure 1
.
100Base-TX Port
To connect the 100Base-TX port on the ReadySwitch to a 100Base-TX repeater/hub or to another
ReadySwitch port, use a UTP (Category 5)
crossover cable
. See Figure 2.
