Step 4: Connecting Devices to the Switch

The following procedure describes how to connect PCs to the switch's RJ-45 ports. The

NETGEAR Smart Switch contains Auto Uplink™ technology, which allows the attaching of

devices using either straight-through or crossover cables.

Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the Switch front panel, as shown in the diagram

below. Use Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an RJ-45

connector to make these connections.

Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the attached

device to 100 m (328 ft).
