Installation Guide for the Model FS516 Fast Ethernet Switch Fast Ethernet Ports As Figure 2-1 shows, the Model FS516 switch is equipped with 16 autosensing 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports. The network access speed for the 10/100 Mbps ports is automatically sensed and displayed on the front panel by the 100 Mbps LEDs. The 10/100 Mbps ports support only unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. Each of the 10/100 Mbps ports uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have built-in LEDs, as illustrated in Figure 2-2. The LEDs, as described in Table 2-1, indicate that the connection to the port is valid and that the port is operating in full-duplex mode. For further information about the vista RJ-45 connector and the RJ-45 plug, refer to Appendix B, "Connector Pin Assignments." 1 2 735EA Key: 1 = Link LED 2 = FDX LED Figure 2-2.

This port is configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC when the push button is in the out position. When the push button is pressed in, this port is configured for uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a straight-through twisted pair cable. 2-2 Physical Description
