DGS-1510 Series Gigabit Ethernet SmartPro Switch Hardware Installation Guide 3. Connecting the Switch Switch to End Node Switch to another Switch Connect to a Network Backbone or Server Switch to End Node An End Node can be any networking device, plugged into any of the networking ports of the Switch, where data transmission ends. Typical end nodes are computers. End nodes are generally outfitted with a 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) that can connect to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node to any of the copper ports of the Switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each Ethernet port turns green or amber when the link is active. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that port. Figure 3-1 End Node to Switch Connection Switch to another Switch There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made using the appropriate cabling. • Connect a 10BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable. • Connect a 100BASE-TX switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable. • Connect 1000BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable. • Connect switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink to the Switch's SFP ports via fiber-optic cabling. 25

Switch to End Node
An End Node can be any networking device, plugged into any of the networking ports of the Switch,
where data transmission ends. Typical end nodes are computers. End nodes are generally outfitted with a
10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) that can connect to the Switch via a
twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. Connect the end node to any of the copper ports of the Switch. The Link/Act
LEDs for each Ethernet port turns green or amber when the link is active. A blinking LED indicates packet
activity on that port.

There is a great deal of flexibility on how connections are made using the appropriate cabling.
•
Connect a 10BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP
cable.
•
Connect a 100BASE-TX switch port to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect 1000BASE-T switch port to the Switch via a twisted pair Category 5e UTP/STP cable.
•
Connect switch supporting a fiber-optic uplink to the Switch’s SFP ports via fiber-optic cabling.
