Switch To End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100, or 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface
Card (NIC) and most routers.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP cable. The end node
should be connected to any port on the Switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the port is connected to a Gigabit Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, or Ethernet station. If the indicator is blinking green, data is either being transmitted or received.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable
•
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, or 5
UTP/STP cable.
• A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 5 UTP/STP
cable.
