3. Hardware Installation
Start up
Please refer to the following for your cabling:
10/100BASE-TX
All 10/100BASE-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability. They automatically
support 10/100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Users only need to plug a
working network device into one of the 10/100BASE-TX ports, and then turn on
the FSD-808P. The port will automatically run at 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or
200Mbps after negotiating with the connected device.
Cabling
Each 10/100BASE-TX port uses RJ45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for
connection to unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3 / 802.3u Fast
Ethernet standard requires Category 5, 5e UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T
networks can use Cat. 3, 4 and 5 (see table below). Maximum distance is 100
meters (328 feet).
Port Type Cable Type Connector
10BASE-T Cat. 3, 4, 5, 2-pair RJ45
100BASE-TX Cat. 5, 5e UTP, 2-pair RJ45
Any Ethernet devices like hubs/PCs can connect to the FSD-808P by using straight-
through wires. The eight 10/100Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X, which can be
used on straight-through or crossover cable.
