Connecting The Switch 13
♦ A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 5 UTP/STP straight cable.
If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we suggest connecting the other device’s Uplink (MDI-II) port to
any of the switch’s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the 100BASE-TX module ports) using a normal straight-through cable,
as shown below.
If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make the connection with a normal straight-through cable from
one of the Uplink ports on the switch to any normal crossed port on the hub. Alternatively, if you have a crossover cable you
can save the Uplink ports for other connections and make this one from a crossed port to another crossed port.
