Pictured here is the 5-Port Switch; however, the other Switch is similar in form. Front Panel LEDs Figure 2-3 The power port is located on the side panel of the Switch (see Figure 2-3). (power) The power port is where you will connect the included power adapter. Figure 2-1 System Green. Each LED will light up when there is a connection made through its corresponding port. Figure 2-4 The security slot is located on the other side panel (see Figure 2-4). (security slot) The security slot is where you can attach a lock so the Switch will be protected from theft. 1-5 or 1-8 Back and Side Panel Features Figure 2-2 The network ports are located on the back panel of the Switch. 1-5 or 1-8 These ports are connection points for PCs and other network devices, such as additional switches. 3 2 Chapter 3: Connecting the 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch Overview This chapter will explain how to connect network devices to the Switch. For an example of a typical network configuration, see the application diagram shown in Figure 3-1. Connecting Network Devices To connect network devices to the Switch, follow these instructions. Make sure all the devices you will connect to the Switch are powered off. Connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the Switch. Figure 3-2 Note: Use Category 5e Ethernet network cables for your Gigabit connections. Connect the supplied power adapter to the power port on the Switch's side panel. Figure 3-1 When you connect your network devices, make sure you don't exceed the maximum cabling distances, which are listed in the following table: Figure 3-3 Note: Make sure you use the power adapter included with the Switch. Using a different power adapter may result in damage to the Switch. To Switch or Hub* Hub Computer Maximum Distance 100 meters (328 feet) 1 5 meters (16. 4 feet) 1 100 meters (328 feet) 1 Maximum Cabling Distances From Switch Hub Switch or Hub 6. Each active port's corresponding LED will light up on the Switch. *A hub refers to any type of 100Mbps hub, including regular hubs and stackable hubs. A 10Mbps hub connected to another 10Mbps hub can span up to 100 meters (328 feet). Proceed to the following section, "Placement Options. " 4 5 Placement Options Set the Switch on its four rubber feet, or hang the Switch on a wall using its wall-mount slots. The wall-mount slots are two crisscross slots on the Switch's bottom panel, as shown in Figure 3-4. Attach two screws to the wall, so that the Switch's wall-mount slots line up with the two screws. Maneuver the Switch so the screws are inserted into the two slots. Appendix A: Glossary 10BaseT - An Ethernet standard that uses twisted wire pairs. 100BaseTX - IEEE physical layer specification for 100 Mbps over two pairs of Category 5 UTP or STP wire. 1000Base-T - Provides half-duplex and full-duplex 1000Mbps Ethernet service over Category 5 links as defined by ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-A. Topology rules for 1000Base-T are the same as those used for 100BaseT. [. . . ] Mbps (Megabits per second) - One million bits per second; unit of measurement for data transmission. MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) - On a network hub or switch, a MDI port, also known as an uplink port, connects to another hub or switch using a straight-through cable. MDI-X (Medium Dependent Interface Crossed) - On a network hub or switch, a MDI-X port connects to a computer using a straight-through cable. To connect a MDI-X port to another hub or switch, use a crossover cable. [. . . ]
