B. Using crossover cable
When using crossover cable, the connection can be made from any ports of the Switch to any port of the Hub.
Switch to Switch (other devices)
The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. A Category 5 cable must be used for 100Mbps operation.
A. Using straight cable
When using straight cable, this is done from the uplink (MDI-II) port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices.
B. Using crossover cable
When using crossover cable, this is done from any (MDI-X) port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps, 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices.
1.The “100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT” LED indicator light green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or light amber for hookup to 10Mbps speed.
2.The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator depends upon the connected switch’s capabilities for full-duplex or half-duplex. The DSS-5+ will automatically sense and support the faster method of communication.
