MDI-X Jacks: Use these jacks to connect stations to the hub. These are MDI-X(Medium-Dependent Interface, Cross-wired) jacks, which mean, you can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect user machines and servers to the switch through them. If you need to connect another device with an MDI-Xjack, such as another switch or an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub, you should use a crossover cable, or make the connection using the MDI-IIjack (described below). Please see www.dlink.comfor more information on cross-over cables and cascading switches.
Uplink Jack(s) (MDI-II): Use this jack to connect stations to the hub. This is a MDI-II(Medium-dependent Interface, straight-wired) jack, which means you can connect the DSS-5+ to a device with a MDI-Xport (like a hub or switch) using an ordinary straight-through cable.
PLEASE NOTE: When using the MDI-II to cascade to a switch or hub, the MDI-X directly next to it will be disabled automatically. A maximum of 5 devices can be attached to the switch at anytime.
LED Indicators
Power Indicator (PWR)
This LED will light a solid green when the unit is receiving power.
Full-Duplex/Collision (Full-Duplex/Collision)
This LED indicator will light a solid green when a respective port is in full duplex (FDX) mode. As collisions occur on the respective port it will blink. Collisions are normal in an Ethernet network.
100M Link/Activity, 10M Link/Activity
(100M LINK/ACT (green), 10LINK/ACT (amber))
This indicator lights green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station. The indicator blinks
