Connecting the Ethernet Switch to the PortServer Pro Workgroup
47
c
For PortServer Pro workgroups, the Ethernet path between the
PortServer Pro system and PortServer Pro clients must be a direct, full-
duplex connection using the supplied Ethernet switch. Adding single-
duplex devices between the PortServer Pro system and its clients, or
attempting to connect clients using other switches or hubs, is not
supported.
To connect the Ethernet switch to the PortServer Pro client’s Ethernet
port:
1. Locate a Category 5 copper Ethernet cable.
2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the rear of
the client (see the following figure).

3. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an empty port on the
Ethernet switch.
