phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the switching
hub.
4. Verify that either the Link/Act LED or 100M LED of the port is turned on
(or blinking). The Link/Act LED illuminates if a valid 10BASE-T link is
established. Similarly, the 100M LED is turned on if a 100BASE-TX
device is attached to the device.
You can connect an additional hub to the FX-05SC via a twisted-pair cable
to increase the total number of ports (nodes in your network). This scheme
is called
“
cascading
”
.
1. Prepare a straight-through cable with RJ-45 plugs. Cable type must be
Category 5 if you are adding a device with 100BASE-TX support. If the
other device is for 10Mbps connection, you may use Category 3 or
g r e a t e r. (Network cables available from PCI: UTP-xx-05, UTP-xx-DT,
STP-xx-05)
