CHAPTER 3
Network DIY
This chapter describes how to connect this Switch to your Fast Ethernet network.
3. Network 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 after
powering 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.

Switch to PC
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.
