Note

You can use either Port 5 or the Uplink
port, but you cannot use both
simultaneously.

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 con-
nector should lock the connector into place.

You should check to be sure that you are
using the appropriate type of twisted pair
cabling. Refer to Table 4 on page 10 for
twisted pair cable specifications.

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 power to the switch by plugging the

AC/DC power adapter into an AC power
outlet, the plug the DC connector to the power
receptable of the switch.
