Chapter 4 Connecting to the Switch

When You Are Done

Follow these steps:

Step 1 Either:

•Use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable

	Catalyst
to connect the switch 10/100/1000 port to	Express 520	Series
another device	1

• Use a twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable

to connect the switch 1000BASE-T SFP

module port to another device

• Use a fiber-optic cable with an LC or

MT-RJ connector to connect a fiber-optic

SFP module port to another device.

Only one port can be active at a time. If both

ports are connected, the SFP module port has

priority. The priority setting is not

configurable.

Step 2 Insert the other cable end in the other device.

Step 3 Wait until the port LEDs on the switch and the attached device are solid green. The solid

green port LEDs means a successful connection between the two devices.

Troubleshooting:

If the port LEDs are not solid green or if either port LED turns amber, make sure that:

•You are using an undamaged Category 5 Ethernet cable or an undamaged fiber-optic cable.

•The other device is turned on.
