Connecting Cables to Network Equipment

P334T-ML switches include the following types of ports (according to the speed and standard they support): 10/100BASE-T and SFP GBIC

To connect the cables:

1Insert an SFP GBIC (Small Form Factor Plugable Gigabit Interface Converter) transceiver (not supplied) to port housings numbered 51 and 52.

GBICs are 3.3V.

2Connect an Ethernet fiberoptic cable (not supplied) to the GBIC transceiver. You can use LC or MT-RJ fiberoptic cables, depending on the GBIC type you are using. For a list of approved SFP GBIC transceivers, see www.avayanetwork.com. For fiberoptic cable properties, see Table 4.4.

3For all other ports, connect an Ethernet copper cable (not supplied) directly to the ports. The copper ports can operate with 2 pair (4 wire) or 4 pair (8 wire) Ethernet cables (crossed or straight). The maximum cable length is 100 m (328 ft.).

4Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port of the PC, server, router, workstation, switch, or hub.

5Check that the appropriate link (LNK) LED lights up.
