Note: There is no uplink port on this switch. All 10/100 ports on this switch are auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X. This advanced feature means that the 10/100 ports will automatically determine whether the de- vice at the other end of the link is a hub, switch or workstation, and adjust its signals accordingly.

Although 10BaseT requires only pins 1, 2, 3 and 6, Asanté strongly recommends cables with all 8 wires connected as follows:

BR

WH/BR

GR

WH/BL

BL

WH/GR

OR

WH/OR

1000BaseTX requires that all four pairs (8 wires) be connected cor- rectly. Table 2-1 shows the correct pairing of all eight wires.
