Switch to End Node
Switch to Hub or Switch
NOTE: All 10/100/1000Mbps NWay Ethernet ports can support both MDI-II and MDI-X
connections.
Switch to End Node
End node is a generic name for edge networking devices that are connected to the Switch. Typical examples of end
nodes are Personal Computers (PCs), Notebooks, Access Points, Print Servers, VoIP Phones and more. Each end
node is outfitted with a 10/100Mbps or 10/100/1000Mbps, RJ-45, networking port. Normally, end nodes connect to the
Switch by using a standard twisted-pair, UTP/STP, network cable. After a successful connection, the corresponding
Link/Act light will illuminate and blink to indicate that packet activity is taking place on that port.
Figure 3-1. Switch connected to an end node
The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light when the link is valid. A blinking LED indicates packet activity on that
port.
