3. Configure Network Connection
3.1 Connecting Devices to the Switch
[ Connection Guidelines: ]

For 10BaseT connection : Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable

For 100BaseTX connection : Category 5 twisted-pair Ethernet cable

For 1000BaseTX connection: Category 5e or 6 twisted-pair Ethernet cable

For TX cable connection, always limit the cable distance to 100 meters
(328 ft) as defined by IEEE specification

For 100/1000BaseSX/LX connections, you can connect long distance fiber
optic cable to the switch.

Because this switch supports Auto MDI/MDI-X detection on each TX port,
you can use normal straight through cable for both workstation connection
and hub/switch cascading.

3.2 Connecting to Another Ethernet Switch/Hub
This Switch can be connected to existing 10Mbps / 100Mbps / 1000Mbps
hubs/switches. Because all TX ports on the Switch support Auto MDI/MDI-X
function, you can connect from any TX port of the Switch to the MDI or MDI-X
port of another hub/switch with Straight Through or Crossover cables. If the
switches have fiber-optic ports, you can cascade them with fiber optic cable.
