Cabling and Powering ON the Switch
Perform the following procedure to connect the data cables to the
switch ports and to apply power to the switch.
1. Connect the twisted pair data cables to the RJ-45 ports on the switch,
as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11 Connecting the Twisted Pair Data Cables
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the
following guidelines:
An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
The ports on the switch are auto-MDI/MDI-X when operating at 10
or 100 Mbps. 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 when operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps.
For ports operating at 1000 Mbps, use a straight-through cable.
The network should not contain data loops, which can adversely
affect network performance. A data loop exists when two or more
network devices can communicate with each other over more
than one data path.
