Connecting Devices to the 8-Port Ethernet Switch

To connect devices to the unmanaged Ethernet switch:

1. Use the included 1Ft Ethernet patch cable to connect Ethernet port 1 on t he SLB

branch office manager to one of the switch ports.

Figure 3-3. 8-Port Ethernet Switch

Note: The eight unmanaged Ethernet ports are not internally connected

to the other two Ethernet ports.

2. Use a standard Ethernet patch cable to connect another switch port to your

network.

3. Up to 6 more Ethernet devices may be connected to your network. Use s tandard

Ethernet patch cables from the Ethernet devices to the SLB device's switch ports.

An example of a standard Ethernet patch cable is the Lantronix 200.006 2 RJ45 TO

RJ45 CAT5 CABLE (LAN PINNING) 6.6 Ft.

Typical Installations

Following are illustrations showing some typical ways to install the SLB br anc h of f ic e

manager. In Figure 3-4, three serial devices (a server, a Cisco switch, and a firewall)

connect to the SLB device's serial ports, unmanaged switch ports, and po wer outlets.

This setup enables the SLB branch office manager to manage the devices, c onnect the

devices to the network, and provide power to the devices. An SLB switc h port connects

the Lantronix Spider (optional), a “Distributed KVM” product that prov ides remote and

secure access to the attached server over the network. In addition, t he SLB branch office

manager connects to a modem for out-of-band dial-up access.
