Connecting network devices

To connect network devices to the GX1026 switch:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the switch

front panel. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port of the network device.

Repeat this step to connect additional network devices.

2. Plug one end of the power cable to the power connector on the switch rear

panel, then plug the other end to a power outlet.

3. The Power LED and LAN LED indicators for active Ethernet ports light up

when the switch is powered on and active nodes are connected to the LAN

ports. Refer to the front panel illustration and LED table in page 4 for details.

• We recommend the use of Category 5 Ethernet straight-through cables to

ensure proper connections between the switch and other network devices.

• You can use either cross-over or straight-through cables to connect other

network devices such as bridges, switches, hubs, and repeaters.
