Figure 5. Attaching the Rubber Feet

3.Place the switch on a flat and secure surface, leaving ample space around the switch for ventilation.

4.Connected the twisted pair cables to the twisted pair ports.

When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following guidelines:

ˆAn RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch. The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.

ˆCheck that you are using the appropriate type of twisted pair cabling. Refer to “Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances” on page 30 for twisted pair cable specifications.

ˆSince the twisted pair port, when operating in Auto-Negotiation, is Auto MDI/MDI-X, you can use either a straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device to a port on the switch. If you disable Auto-Negotiation on the port, the port defaults to MDI-X.
