5.1
Switch to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ 45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network
Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. An end node can be connected to the switch via a twisted-pair
Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP cable. The end node should be connected to any of the ports of the switch.
Note:
All 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Ethernet ports can support both MDI-II and MDI-X connections.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light green or amber when the link is valid. A blinking LED
indicates packet activity on that port.
