CONNECTING THE SWITCH
PC to DES-105/108
A computer can be connected to the DES-105/108 via a two-pair Category
3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A computer
equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps port can be connected to any of the
five DES-105/108 ports.
The LED indicators for the PC connection depend on the capability of the
computer’s Ethernet card. If the LED indicators are not lit after making a
proper connection, check the computer’s Ethernet card, the cable, and the
DES-105/108’s conditions and connections.
Hub to DES-105/108
A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the DES-105/108 via a
two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover
cable. For 100Mbps operation a Category 5 cable must be used. The
connection is accomplished from any port of the hub to any port of the
DES-105/108.
DES-105/108 to other devices
The DES-105/108 can be connected to another switch or other devices
(routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-
Through or Crossover cable. A Category 5 cable must be used for
100Mbps operation. The connection can be accomplished from any (MDI-
X) port on the DES-105/108 to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps (MDI-X)
ports on another switch or other devices.
