Connecting The Switch 27
♦
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP
straight cable.
♦
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a four-pair Category 5 UTP/STP
straight cable.
If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we suggest connecting the other device’s Uplink
(MDI-II) port to any of the switch’s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the 100BASE-TX module ports) using a
normal straight-through cable, as shown below.
If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make the connection with a normal straight-through
cable from one of the Uplink ports on the switch to any normal crossed port on the hub. Alternatively, if you
have a crossover cable you can save the Uplink ports for other connections and make this one from a crossed
port to another crossed port.
