Connecting Devices
Servers, workstations, hubs and other switches can be con-
nected to the switch with a twisted-pair cable segment. This
segment may be up to 100 m (328 feet) in length. Be sure to
use the appropriate type of cable (either crossover or straight-
through). Use only certified Category 5 cable for the 100BASE-
TX connection.
Attach one end of the cable to an unused port on the switch,
and the other end to the RJ-45 port on the other device. As
each connection is made, the green LED above the port will
light (after 2-3 seconds) to indicate that the connection is valid.
100BASE-FX Devices
The 100BASE-FX connection requires 62.5/125 micron multi-
mode fiber optic cabling with an SC connector. Since SC
connectors are keyed, the cable can be attached in only one
manner.
Connecting Devices
Connect one end of the cable to the SC connector on the front
panel of the switch (see illustration) and the other end to the
other device.
