2.6.2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports Cabling Procedures
Cabling requirements for the optional hardware modules depend on the type of module installed. Use the following
guidelines to determine the particular cabling requirements of the module(s):
• 1000BaseSX GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors; 62.5µ multi-mode fiber (MMF) media up to 275 m
(902'), or 50µ MMF media up to 550 m (1805')
• 1000BaseLX GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors; 10µ single-mode fiber media up to 5 km (16,405')
• 1000BaseLH GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors; 10µ single-mode fiber media up to 20 km (65,617')
• 1000BaseLX Long Haul GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors; 10µ single-mode fiber media up to 100 km
(328,100')
• 1000BaseLZ GBIC: Cables with SC-type fiber connectors; 10µ single-mode fiber media up to 120 km (393,701')
• 1000BaseT: Category 5 or better Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable up to 100 m (328.1')
When attaching a workstation to the switch, a standard straight-through CAT5 cable may be used, even when the
workstation is attached via a patch panel. No crossover cable is needed with the MDX/MDI ports. It is recommended
that the switch be kept off the network until proper IP settings have been set.
2.7 Setup
In order to configure the switch, connect to it through a console (out-of-band management), running a terminal
emulation program, such as HyperTerminal.
2.7.1 Connecting to a Console
To connect the switch to a console or computer, set up the system in the following manner:
1. Plug power cord into the back of the switch.
2. Attach a straight-through serial cable between the RS232 console port and a COM port on the PC.
3. Set up a HyperTerminal (or equivalent terminal program) in the following manner:
a. Open the HyperTerminal program, and from its file menu, right-click on Properties.
b. Under the Connect To tab, choose the appropriate COM port (such as COM1 or COM2).
