Connecting Devices to the Switch

The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switch’s RJ-45 ports. When attaching devices to the FS517TS, the switch’s support for Auto Uplink technol- ogy allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or crossover cables (for more information about Auto LinkTM technology, refer to “Auto Uplink (FS517TS)” on page 2-5).

1.Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switch’s front panel (see Figure 4-2). Use Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these connections.

Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached device to 100 m (328 ft).
