N-TRON 708M12 Grounding Techniques

Drain wire with lug connecting switch chassis to known grounding point.

CONNECTING THE UNIT

For 10Base-T ports, plug a Category 3 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the M12 connector. For 100Base-T ports, plug a Category 5 (or greater) twisted pair cable into the M12 connector. Connect the other end to the far end station. Verify that the LNK LED’s are ON once the connection has been completed. To connect any other port to another Switch or Repeater, use a standard Cat5 straight through or crossover cable.

Warning: Creating a port to port connection on the same switch (i.e. loop) is an illegal operation and will create a broadcast storm which will crash the network!
