Ports
All ports on the Fast Ethernet Ofce Switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X
functionality, so crossover cables and uplink ports are not needed for
connections to PCs, routers, hubs, additional switches or other devices.
Cat5/5e UTP/STP cables provide optimal performance; if a status LED
corresponding to any of the ports in use doesn’t indicate a link or activity,
check the connected device for proper setup and operation.

Prior to use, it is recommended that the Fast Ethernet Ofce Switch be
placed/positioned:
• on a level surface that can support the weight of the switch (and any
other items that need to be considered);
• with a minimum of 25 mm (approx. 1”) of clearance on the top and
sides for adequate ventilation;
• away from sources of electrical noise, such as radios, transmitters and
broadband ampliers;
• where it cannot be affected by excessive moisture; and
• within 100 m (approx. 328’) of network devices it’s to be connected to.
