Switch to End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps RJ 45 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)
and most routers.
An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair UTP/STP cable. The end node should be
connected to any of the 10/100BASE-T ports of the Switch.

The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port will light green or amber when the link is valid. A blinking LED
indicates packet activity on that port.
