300 Series Managed Switches 5
Connecting Network Devices
To connect the switch to the network:
STEP 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,
printer, network storage, or other network device.
STEP 2 Connect the other end of the network Ethernet cable to one of the
numbered managed switch Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet port light turns green when the connection is active.
Refer to Features of the Cisco Small Business 300 Series
Managed Switch, page 12 for details about the different ports
and LEDs on each switch.
STEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to
the managed switch.
NOTE Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit
connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed
the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to
one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is
connected. This is normal behavior.
