PCs, Servers, Hubs and Other Switches, and Other Devices
All of the RJ45 ports on the switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X, allowing you
to use straight-through or crossover cable to connect it to workstations,
hubs and such.
Connect one end of the network cable to an RJ45 port on the switch and
connect the other end to an RJ45 port on the network device. Follow the
same simple procedure to connect any number of devices the switch can
accommodate (in this case, 16 or 24).
NOTE:
UTP cables need to comply
with EIA/TIA 568 specifications and the Cat5 standard for 100 Mbps
data transmission. limit the length of any UTP cable connecting a device
to the switch to 100 m (328 ft.)
once the cable connections are made and the attached network device
is powered on, the corresponding lINK
/ACT LED on the front panel of
the switch should be lit — either on or flashing. (If not, check all network
cable and power cord connections and quality conditions.)
