Hardware Installation
This device will work with all OS’ s because there is no configuration needed for this stand-alone
device. This switch has auto MDI-X ports that will auto-sense the cable type that you are using for
each port. The switch will then automatically change the polarity of the port as need to ensure a link
with either a straight-through or crossover cable. Remember, if you have a link light then you are using
the correct cable. When connecting to a Gigabit device a straight-through Ethernet cable will always
be used. Gigabit does not use uplink ports or crossover Ethernet cables. This is because Gigabit uses
all 5 wires of an Ethernet cable, instead of 4 wires like 10/100.
