Installation Guide for the Model FS518 Fast Ethernet Switch
2-2 Physical Description
As Figure 2-1 shows, the Model FS518 switch is equipped with 16 autosensing 10/100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet UTP ports. The network access speed for the 10/100 Mbps ports is automatically sensed
and displayed on the front panel by the 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Link LEDs.
The 10/100 Mbps ports support only unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using an 8-pin RJ-45
plug. Each of the 10/100 Mbps ports uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have built-in LEDs, as
illustrated in
Figure 2-2 . The LEDs, as described in Table 2-1 on page 2-5 , indicate that the
connection to the port is valid and that the port is operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps.
For further information about the vista RJ-45 connector and the RJ-45 plug, refer to Appendix B,
“Connector Pin Assignments ,” and Appendix C, “Cabling Guidelines .”
