Figure 2-20. Basic desktop configuration
The E2620 Switches are designed to be used primarily as desktop switches to
which end nodes, printers, other peripherals, and servers are directly
connected, as shown in the above illustration. The end node devices are
connected to the switch by straight-through or crossover twisted-pair cables.
Either cable type can be used because of the Auto-MDIX feature on the E2620
Switches ports.
