Chapter 4: Making Network Connections

Connecting Network Devices

The SM24-100SFP-AH is designed to interconnect multiple segments (or collision domains) using optional SFP transceivers. It can be connected to network cards in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. Two combination 1000BASE-T/SFP ports provide the uplink connection from the switch to other switches or routers at the central office.

Twisted-Pair Devices

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T connections, Category

5or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections.

Cabling Guidelines

The RJ-45 ports on the switch supports automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or hubs).

See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches

1.Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.
