10/100BASE-TX ports
Connect cables to computers or network segments into the RJ-
45 ports on the front of this switch. It does not matter which
port you select. All the non-fiber ports support 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX with full- or half-duplex.
Use any port (auto MDIX) with the straight or cross-over twisted-
pair cable for connecting to a regular or uplink port of a hub or
another switch.
The cable must be a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair or
unshielded twisted-pair (STP/UTP) cable for 100BASE-TX, or
Category 3, 4, or 5 STP/UTP cable for 10BASE-T.
100BASE-FX ports
Prepare a pair of fiber optic cables with SC type connectors at
both ends.
If you are making a connection to a server or workstation, be sure
that it has a properly installed 100BASE-FX network interface
card. Connect the
Rx/Tx
jacks on the target device to the
Tx/Rx
jacks on the switch.
