Switch to End Node
Please note that while this chapter uses diagrams of the DGS-6604, the same techniques will apply to all DGS-
6600 Series Switches.
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and
routers. An end node connects to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node to any of
the 1000BASE-T ports of the Switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each Ethernet port will light green or amber when the
link is valid. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port.
