Dual-Speed Stackable Hubs User's Guide ♦ LED Indicator Panel Refer to the next chapter, Understanding Indicators, for detailed information about each of the hub LED indicators. ♦ Twisted-Pair Ports Use any of these ports to connect stations to the hub. The ports are MDIX Nway ports, which means you can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect the hub to PCs, workstations, or servers through these ports, and the speed of the connection will be detected automatically. If you need to connect to another device with MDI-X ports such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossover cable, or connect using the Uplink port (described below). For more information about crossover connection, see the Crossover Cables section on page 112. ♦ Uplink Port The Uplink port is an MDI port, which means you can connect the hub (or hub stack) to another device with MDI-X ports using an ordinary straightthrough cable, making a crossover cable unnecessary. Port 1 and the Uplink port are the same logical port, except their pinouts are different. Do not use both Port 1 and the Uplink port at the same time. 8 Unpacking and Setup
