Connecting to the Core Network

The optional 10GB ports on the DWS-3026 are ideal for uplinking to the core network. Connections to the Gigabit Ethernet ports are made using a fiber-optic cable or Category 5e copper cable, depending on the type of port. A valid connection is indicated when the Link LED is lit.

Figure 28 shows the rear panel of the DWS-3026 with the optional DEM-410X module.
