MDI-X Jacks: Use these jacks to connect stations to the hub. These are
MDI-X (Medium-Dependent Interface, Cross-wired) jacks, which mean, you
can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect user
machines and servers to the switch through them. If you need to connect
another device with an MDI-X jack, such as another switch or an Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet hub, you should use a crossover cable, or make the connection
using the MDI-II jack (described below). Please see www.dlink.com for more
information on cross-over cables and cascading switches.
Uplink Jack(s) (MDI-II ): Use this jack to connect stations to the hub. This
is a MDI-II (Medium-dependent Interface, straight-wired) jack, which means
you can connect the DSS-5+ to a device with a MDI-X port (like a hub or
switch) using an ordinary straight-through cable.
PLEASE NOTE: When using the MDI-II to cascade to a
switch or hub, the MDI-X directly next to it will be
disabled automatically. A maximum of 5 devices can
be attached to the switch at anytime.
