DES-3326 Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP straight cable.

A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 5e UTP/STP straight cable.

If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we suggest connecting the other device’s Uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the switch’s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the optional Gigabit module ports) using a normal straight-through cable, as shown below.

If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make the connection with a normal straight- through cable from the Uplink port on the switch to any normal crossed port on the hub. Alternatively, if you have a crossover cable you can save the Uplink ports for other connections and make this one from a crossed port to another crossed port.

10BASE-T Device

For a 10BASE-T device, the Switch’s LED indicators should display the following:

100 LED speed indicator is OFF.

Link/Act indicator is ON.

100BASE-TX Device

For a 100BASE-TX device, the Switch’s LED indicators should display the following:

100 LED speed indicator is ON.

Link/Act is ON.
