INSTALLING THE SWITCH

Note: It is not necessary to power off the switch before connecting or disconnecting any UTP cables, as these actions will not disrupt the operation of other devices attached to the switch.

RJ-45 10/100 Mbps Connections

For twisted-pair devices, connect each PC to an RJ-45 port on the switch with a twisted-pair cable segment, maximum 100 meters (328 feet). Use Category 3, 4, or 5 cable for 10 Mbps connections, and Category 5 cable for all 100 Mbps connections.

Note: If an attached device does not support auto-negotiation, the data rate will be sensed automatically and the communication mode will default to half duplex.

Connecting to the Gigabit Uplink Port

The Gigabit uplink port operates at 1000 and 100 Mbps and supports IEEE 802.3x flow control. Auto-negotiation is used to select the optimal transmission speed and communication mode. Use Category 5 or 5e cable of maximum length 100m (328 feet). You should also test the cable installation for IEEE 802.3ab compliance. See “1000BASE-T Cable Requirements” on page 14.
