3. Making Network Connections

3.1 Network Switched Ports

There are five ports on the switch for connection to five LAN segments.

Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-domain.

• Four 10/100BASE-TX switched ports

Each port consists of one RJ-45 connector and is used for connection to

either a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX device. The RJ-45 connectors are fixed

MDI-X jacks which are designed with internal crossover function. It allows

a connection to an end station using straight-through UTP cable.

• One 100BASE-FX fiber switched port

This fiber port comes with one fiber connector. For ST and SC

connectors, the contact labeled TX is used for transmission and

the other one labeled RX is used for reception. One duplex mode

selector is located on the rear panel. Either full duplex or half duplex

mode can be selected (factory default: full-duplex).
