2.4 Hardware Installation
2.4.1 Before start up
Before your installation, please refer to the following for your cabling:
100Base-TX
All 100Base-TX ports come with Auto-Negotiation capability. They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T
networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 100Base-TX ports, and then turn on the
ES2001-4P-4T. The port will automatically detect the appropriate speed (10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps) after the
negotiation with the connected device.
Cabling
Each 10/100Base-TX port uses RJ-45 sockets for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3u
Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP
(see table below). Maximum distance is 100meters (328 feet).
Port Type Cable Type Connector
10Base-T Cat 3, 4, 5, 2-pair RJ-45
100Base-TX Cat.5 UTP, 2-pair RJ-45
Any Ethernet devices like hubs/ PCs can connect to the ES2001-4P-4T by using the appropriate cable. The
eight-10/100Mbps ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X and can be used with ‘straight-through’ or ‘crossover’ cables.
2.5 Desktop Installation
To install the Switch on desktop, simply follow the next steps:
Step 1: Attach the rubber feet to the recessed areas on the bottom of the Switch, as shown in Figure 2-3.
