22 Connecting The Switch
crossover cable, the connection must be made from Uplink
to Uplink, or from a crossed port to another crossed port.
♦
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 two-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.
