3.2.1 Connect the console port
For console management, use an RS232 (DB9) or a USB cable to connect
the switch. If you want to use WEB interface, connect your PC to the
switch using the Ethernet cable.
3.2.2 Connect to the computers or a LAN
You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers directly to the switch
ports. You can also connect hubs/switches to the switch ports by Ethernet
cables. You can use either the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable
to connect computers, hubs, or switches.
Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the 1000BASE-T
port. Otherwise, the link speed cannot reach 1Gbps.
3.2.3 Attach the RPS module
Connect your RPS module to the RPS jack and ensure the other end of
the RPS is connected to the power cord. Connect to the power cord to a
grounded power outlet.
3.2.4 Attach the power adapter
1. Connect the AC power cord to the POWER receptacle located at the
back of the switch. Plug the other end of the power cord into a wall
outlet or a power strip.
