Connect the Ethernet Ports
You can use the following information to connect standard Ethernet cables between the ES8510 Ethernet
ports and the network nodes.
•
Ports 1-7 are Fast Ethernet (10/100BASE-TX) ports.
•
Ports 8-10 are RJ45/SFP Combo Gigabit ports that support 10/100/1000BASE-TX, 100BASE-FX, and
1000BASE-X)
.
Connect SFP Transceivers (Combo Ports 8-10)
on Page 13 for information about SFP installation.
All of the Ethernet ports automatically detect the signal from the connected devices to negotiate the link
speed and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex). Auto MDI/MDIX allows you to connect another switch, hub, or
workstation without changing straight-through or crossover cables. Crossover cables cross-connect the
transmit lines at each end to the received lines at the opposite end.
Connect one side of an Ethernet cable into any switch port and connect the other side to
your attached device. The LNK/ACT LED is lit when the cable is correctly connected.
Always make sure that the cables between the switches and attached devices (for example,
switch, hub, or workstation) are less than 100 meters (328 feet) and meet these
requirements.
