3. Making Network Connections

3.1 Network Switched Ports

There are ten ports on the switch for connection to ten LAN segments. Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-do- main.

Figure 3-1 Network Ports

Port #1 to Port #8 are 10Mbps-based 10BASE-T switched ports and dedicated for connecting to eight separate 10Mbps Ethernet segments through individual 10BASE-T connections.

Port #9 is a 10/100Mbps-based dual-speed switched port. It can support connection to either one 10Mbps Ethernet segment or one 100Mbps 100BASE-TX fast Ethernet segment. It features the capability of auto- sensing the speed of the connected segment.

Port #10 is a configurable expansion port slot. The slot can be config- ured with one optional port module. Once installed, the slot becomes a network switched port and can be used for connecting to an additional network segment. Two optional modules are:

10/100BASE-TX port module - dual speed 10/100BASE-TX

100BASE-FX port module - 100BASE-FX fiber optic
