4. Connected the twisted pair cables to the twisted pair ports.
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the following
guidelines:
ˆ An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
ˆ Check that you are using the appropriate type of twisted pair
cabling. Refer to “Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances” on page 30
for twisted pair cable specifications.
ˆ Since the twisted pair port, when operating in Auto-Negotiation, is
Auto MDI/MDI-X, you can use either a straight-through or
crossover twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device
to a port on the switch. If you disable Auto-Negotiation on the port,
the port defaults to MDI-X.
5. Apply AC power to the switch by plugging the power cord into the AC
power connector on the back panel of the unit, as illustrated in
Figure 6 on page 33.
6. Plug the other end or the power cord into a wall outlet.
