This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to
your Fast Ethernet network. In each of the following
figures, the 8-port 10/100M NWay Fast Ethernet
Switch is shown.
PC to Switch
A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair
Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable (Cat.5 must
be used for 100Mbps). The PC (equipped with a RJ-45
10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of
the 8 ports (1x - 8x) of the 8-port Switch.
The LED indicators for the PC connection are
dependent on the LAN card capabilities. If LED
indicators are not lit after making a proper connection,
check the PC LAN card, the cable, the Switch
conditions and connections.
The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC
to Switch connection:
1. The 100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT LED
indicator lights green for hookup to 100Mbps
speed or lights amber for hookup to 10Mbps
