Connecting To Network Backbone or Server
NOTE:
All 24 high-performance NWay Ethernet ports can support both
MDI-II and MDI-X connections.
Switch To End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP
cable. The end node should be connected to any of the ports of the Switch.
Figure 3-1. Switch connected to an end node
The

LEDs
for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. A blinking LED
indicates packet activity on that port.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a normal cable.
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category
3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable.
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair
Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
