CONNECTING
NETWORK
DEVICES
The switch was designed to be connected to 10, 100 or
1000Mbps network cards in PCs and servers, as well as
to other switches, hubs and VoIP devices such as IP
Phone, ATA and FXS/FXO Gateway. It may also be
connected to remote devices using optional SFP
transceivers.
TWISTED-PAIR
DEVICES
Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use
Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections,
Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections.
CABLING
GUIDELINES
The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic
MDI/MDI-X pin-out configuration, so you can use
standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to
connect to any other network device (PCs, servers,
switches, routers, or hubs and VoIP devices such as
IP Phone, ATA and FXS/FXO Gateway.).
See Appendix B for further information on cabling.
C
AUTION
:
Do not plug a phone jack connector(RJ-11) into an
RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-
pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC
standards.
CONNECTING TO PCs, SERVERs, HUBs AND SWITCHes
Step1.
Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45
connector.
