2.2 Hardware Connection
The power receptacle is located on the rear panel of the switch. The standard power receptacle is
for the AC power cord.
The Switch contains 16 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX
RJ-45 ports.All of these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use
straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or
hubs. Each of these ports also support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or
full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically.
See the following section to get more details about connection of RJ-45 ports.
Connecting to PC or Server
You can connect any RJ-45 station port on
the Switch to a PC via twisted-pair cable with
RJ-45 plugs at both ends. Use Category 3, 4 or 5
cable for standard 10Mbps Ethernet connections,
or Category 5 cable for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
connections.
Make sure you have installed a 10BASE-T or
100BASE-TX network interface card for connecting
a PC to the Switch’s RJ-45 (MDI-X) station ports.
If LEDs don’t light afterpowering on the Switch, check if the LAN card, the cable and connectors
are properly attached to the PC and the Switch. When a attached PC is powered on or reset:
1. The Link/Act LED will light
2. The FDX/Col LED depends on the installed LAN card’s capabilities for the PC and the Switch
connection.
3. The 100M LED will light for 100Mbps connection, otherwise it will be unlighted.
