Connecting to a 10/100 Port

Follow these steps to connect to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices:

Step 1

When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect
a straight-through Category 5 cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel
(

). When connecting to switches or repeaters, use a crossover

Category 5 cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in the

Note

The switch can connect to a Cisco IP Phone through a straight-through,
twisted-pair cable. The rear panel of the Cisco IP Phone might have more than
one RJ-45 jack. Use the LAN-to-phone jack to connect the phone to the
switch. Refer to the documentation that came with your Cisco IP Phone for
information about connecting devices to it.

Step 2

Connect one end of the cable to the RJ-45 connector of the switch 10/100 port.

Step 3

Connect the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 connector of the other device.

The switch port LED comes on when both the switch and the connected device
have established link.
