Using the BayStack 303 and 304 Ethernet Switches

Attaching Devices to the BayStack Switch

After you have installed the BayStack 303 or 304 switch, you can connect it to any equipment that conforms to the IEEE 802.3 standard, such as the following devices:

Ethernet networking devices

Individual workstations or servers

Other switches, bridges, or hubs

When the BayStack switch has valid link status, it automatically learns the MAC level station address of each attached device. If you monitor the traffic, you may initially see some extra transmissions as the switch learns the network connectivity; after that, however, the network is fully switched.

The green link LED of each port lights if you correctly cable and connect each attached device to the switch ports. If the attached device is off, is disabled from sending link-status pulses, or is wired incorrectly, the link status LED of the associated switch port does not light. If this is the case, you need to determine the cause of the problem and take the appropriate corrective action.

Connecting 10BASE-T Ports

The 12 or 24 10BASE-T ports on the BayStack switch connect to Ethernet hubs, network devices, individual workstations, or servers through an MDI-X configured connection. Media Dependent Interface (MDI) is the IEEE standard for the interface to unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.

For communications to take place between two devices, the transmitter of one device must connect to the receiver of the other device. The connection must be achieved through a crossover function, which could be a crossover cable or a port that implements the crossover function internally.

For more information on using crossover cables, see “MDI and MDI-X
