Rear Panel
These Switch 10/100 models feature 5/8 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports with RJ-45 connectors
located on the rear panel of the Switch. Each port contains a built-in wiring crossover (MDI-X) that
allows for the use of straight-through twisted-pair cable for connections to devices without built-in
crossover ports (i.e., workstations, printers, etc.).
Side Panel
The DC power (9V 0.5A) connector is also located on the side panel of the switch.

the
NWay
Ethernet
Switch
The NWay Ethernet Switch has 5 or 8 10/100Mbps (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) RJ-45 ports that can
be connected to any workstation or server with a standard Ethernet or Fast Ethernet network
interface.
1. Do not plug a phone jack connector into any of the RJ-45 ports. This may damage the NWay
Ethernet Switch.
2. Install a 10/100Mbps (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) network adapter card and driver in each computer
you want to network.
3. Prepare twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 plugs. Use Category 5 cable for all connections. Each
cable cannot exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
4. Attach one end of the cable to the RJ-45 port of the computer's network adapter card and the
other end to any available port on the Switch.
5. Be sure not to use the MDI-X port and its shared MDI port at same time for any connected device.
