Copper Ports - Cable Installation
Please Note:
⇒
The RJ-45 ports on the MS888G2 support MDI/MDI-X auto-crossover
functionality. This enables use of either straight-through or crossover UTP cable
types; the RJ-45 ports will automatically be configured to suit the characteristics of the device
at the remote end of the link.
⇒
The RJ-45 ports on the MS888G2 support Nway auto-negotiation; the ports will automatically
be configured to be compatible with the speed and duplex settings of the device at the remote
end of the link.
⇒
The minimum grade of cable for use with the switch is Cat. 5 grade UTP or STP. Higher
grades of UTP/STP cable may also be used to connect to the copper RJ-45 ports.
1. Depress the clip on the RJ-45 connector and push into the RJ-45 port. Release
connector and ensure that the cable connector is securely locked into the RJ-45 port.
2. Repeat the above steps, as needed, for each RJ-45 port to be connected.
