Connecting the Switch
DGS-1008G to End Node
End nodes include PCs outtted with a 10, 100, or 1000Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. An end node can
be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. The end node can be connected to any of the ports of the
Switch.
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. The LED over the port label indicates a port speed of either 10/100Mbps or
1000Mbps. A blinking LED on the bottom indicates packet activity on that port.
Hub/Switch to DGS-1008G
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable.

Connecting To Network Backbone or Server
Any of the eight Gigabit Ethernet ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or network server.
