Connecting Network Devices
Before you connect network devices to the Switch, review the follow-
ing guidelines:
Make sure the network cable length is less than 100
meters.
Use a straight-through twisted pair cable or a
cross-over cable.
When connecting two switches together (cascading
switches), make sure that the link between them is
not longer than 100 meters.
Network cable segments can be connected to, or dis-
connected from, the Switch while the Switch’s
power is on.
Connecting a PC to the Switch
Use a two-pair Category 5 UTP straight-through cable
with RJ-45 connectors.
Connect the PC to any of the Switch’s ports (1 -4 for the
FS4004DS or 1 - 8 for the FS4008DS). See Figure 2-8.
