Hub to Switch

A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the Switch

via a two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP straight cable.

For 100Mbps operation a Category 5 cable must be used.

The connection is accomplished from the hub uplink (MDI-II)

port to any of the Switch (MDI-X) ports.

A. 10BASE-T Hub

For a 10BASE-T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light

up as follows:

“Full-Duplex/Collision” indicator is OFF initially (it will blink as collisions

occur).
“100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT LED” indicator is light amber.

B. 100BASE-TX Hub

For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should

light up as the following:

“Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator is OFF initially (it will blink as

collisions occur).
“100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT” LED indicator is light green.

Hub without Uplink (MDI-II) port

If a hub is not equipped with an uplink (MDI-II) port,

connection can be made using either straight cable or

crossover cable.

A. Using straight cable

When using straight cable, the connection can be made from

the uplink (MDI-II) port of the Switch to any port of the Hub.
