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 2-3. The vista RJ-45 connector with built-in LEDs Normal/Uplink Push Button As illustrated in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2, one 10 Mbps port and one of the 10/100 Mbps ports on each of the switches is equipped with a Normal/Uplink push button that allows you to select normal (MDI-X) wiring or uplink (MDI) wiring. On the Model SW510 switch, ports 8 and 10 can be configured for normal or uplink wiring; on the Model SW518 switch, ports 16 and 18 can be configured for normal or uplink wiring. The ports are configured for normal wiring when the push button is in the out position. When the push button is pressed in, the ports are configured for uplink wiring. Configuring the ports allows direct connection to a server or PC, or to another switch or a hub to form a network backbone. Physical Description 2-3
