2.3 Hardware Installation
2.3.1 Before start up
Before your installation, please refer to the followings for your cabling:
100Base-TX
All 100Base-TX ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 100Base-TX ports, and then turn on the
FSD-804PS. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the
connected device.
Cabling
Each 10/100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair
cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T
networks can use Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table below). Maximum distance is 100meters (328 feet).
