B. Using crossover cable
When using crossover cable, the connection can be made
from any ports of the Switch to any port of the Hub.
Switch to Switch (other devices)
The Switch can be connected to another switch or other
devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5
UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. A Category 5 cable
must be used for 100Mbps operation.
A. Using straight cable
When using straight cable, this is done from the uplink
(MDI-II) port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps
or 100Mbps (MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or
other devices.
B. Using crossover cable
When using crossover cable, this is done from any (MDI-X)
port of the Switch (Switch A) to any of the 10Mbps, 100Mbps
(MDI-X) port of the other switch (switch B) or other devices.
1. The “100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT” LED indicator
light green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or light
amber for hookup to 10Mbps speed.
2. The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator depends
upon the connected switch’s capabilities for full-duplex
or half-duplex. The DSS-5+ will automatically sense
and support the faster method of communication.
