Getting Started Guide

Note: There is no uplink port on this switch. All 10/100 ports on this

switch are auto-sensing MDI/MDI-X. This advanced feature means
that the 10/100 ports will automatically determine whether the de-
vice at the other end of the link is a hub, switch or workstation, and
adjust its signals accordingly.


Although 10BaseT requires only pins 1, 2, 3 and 6, Asanté strongly
recommends cables with all 8 wires connected as follows:









1000BaseTX requires that all four pairs (8 wires) be connected cor-
rectly. Table 2-1 shows the correct pairing of all eight wires.
