Connecting the Device to the Network
To connect to an uplink port, use Category 5 Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cables with RJ-45
connectors at both ends. The RJ-45 ports on the Ethernet device support automatic Media-Dependent
Interface/Media-Dependent Interface with internal crossover wiring (MDI/MDIX) operation under
Auto-Negotiation mode. Standard straight-through twisted-pair cables can be used to connect to any
other Ethernet network (systems, servers, switches or routers) that supports auto-negotiation.
