Connecting 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Networks The 10/100 ports can each be connected to either a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. If you have both types of network, you can connect them using the Switch so that all your workstations can communicate. Alternatively, if you use 10BASE-T and want to improve performance by introducing 100BASE-TX, the Switch protects your investments because it maintains 10BASE-T connections to your original network equipment. Before You Start Your OfficeConnect Dual Speed Switch comes with: s One power adapter for use with the Switch. The Switch 16 has an additional power cord for use with the power adapter. s A Product Registration card for you to fill out and return. s Four rubber feet. s A stacking clip. s Two unit labels and eight cable ties. s An OfficeConnect Network Assistant CD-ROM. The extra parts mentioned in the next section are not supplied with the Swtich. Unit Connections To connect OfficeConnect units (such as hubs and other switches) to your Switch, you need: s One suitable TP cable for each unit. 10
