Connecting the GigaSwitch 8
Connecting to an end node
An end node includes an Ethernet-DMX converter or PC's outfitted with a
10,100 or 1000Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet Network interface Card
(NIC).
An end node can be connected to the switch via a twisted pair Category 5
UTP/FTP/STP or higher. The end node can be connected to any port of the
switch. If the end node is outfitted with a 1000Mps Network interface
card, a twisted pair Category 5e or Higher must be used.
The end node can be connected to the GigaSwitch using either a straight
cable or crossover cable; any cable is fine. The GigaSwitch 8 comes with
the MDI/MDIX feature.
See the example below:
The link/Act LED for each UTP port blink turns green when the link is valid.
A flashing Link/Act LED indicates packet activity on that port. A LED on
the bottom indicates a port speed of either 10/100Mbps or 1000Mbps (see
Illustration 1).
