MDI-X Jacks:

Use these jacks to connect stations to the hub. These are

MDI-X (Medium-Dependent Interface, Cross-wired) jacks, which mean, you

can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect user

machines and servers to the switch through them. If you need to connect

another device with an MDI-X jack, such as another switch or an Ethernet or

Fast Ethernet hub, you should use a crossover cable, or make the connection

using the MDI-II jack (described below). Please see

www.dlink.com

for more

information on cross-over cables and cascading switches.
Uplink Jack(s) (MDI-II ): Use this jack to connect stations to the hub. This

is a MDI-II (Medium-dependent Interface, straight-wired) jack, which means

you can connect the DSS-5+ to a device with a MDI-X port (like a hub or

switch) using an ordinary straight-through cable.

PLEASE NOTE: When using the MDI-II to cascade to a
switch or hub, the

MDI-X directly next to it will be

disabled automatically. A maximum of 5 devices can

be attached to the switch at anytime.
