Network Cabling and Connections
This chapter describes cabling and connectors used to connect the module to a network and using the
LED indicators to evaluate network function.
Connect to the DES-7003 CPU Management/Uplink Module
The DES-7003 module has six Gigabit Ethernet port to uplink the Switch as well as two ports, a
Console port and an SNMP port, used for device management.
§
GBIC Uplink ports
–
Install 1000BASE-SX or 1000BASE-FX GBIC plug-in module. These
ports are used to link the Switch to the network backbone.
§
Console port
–
Use this for an out-of-band connection to manage the Switch. Connection
requires the RJ-45 to RS-232 serial adapter included with the Switch and an Ethernet cable.
Connect this directly to the serial port on a computer used for managing the Switch.
§
Mgmt port
–
This port is for out-of-band management of the Switch using either Telnet or web-
based management. The Switch can be connected directly to a computer with standard
Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on a computer.
Connect to the DES-7005 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Module
Network connections to the 24 ports of the Ethernet module are made using Category 5 or better
cabling with RJ-45 UTP connectors. Ports may be connected to network devices that support
10BAES-T or 100BASE-TX operation. All ports support auto-negotiation by default for speed, duplex
and flow control (in Full duplex mode). All ports are configurable to force different speed, duplex and
flow control operation. All ports supports auto-detection of polarity and adjust for MDI/MDI-X
connectors to establish a valid link.
The per port LED Link indicators on the DES-7005 will:
§
Light green when a link has been established
§
Blink green when there is activity in the port
§
Remain dark when there is no link
Connect to the DES-7006 100BASE-FX Module
Network connections to the 24 ports of the 100BASE-FX module are made using single multimode
fiber (SMF/MMF) optic cabling with SFF (LC Duplex) type connectors.
The per port LED Link indicators on the DES-7006 will:
§
Light green when a link has been established
§
Blink green when there is activity in the port
§
Remain dark when there is no link
