3. Making Network Connections
3.1 Network Switched Ports
There are five ports on the switch for connection to five LAN segments.
Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-domain.
Four 10/100BASE-TX switched ports
Each port consists of one RJ-45 connector and is used for connection to
either a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX device. The RJ-45 connectors are fixed
MDI-X jacks which are designed with internal crossover function. It allows
a connection to an end station using straight-through UTP cable.
One 100BASE-FX fiber switched port
This fiber port comes with one fiber connector. For ST and SC
connectors, the contact labeled TX is used for transmission and
the other one labeled RX is used for reception. One duplex mode
selector is located on the rear panel. Either full duplex or half duplex
mode can be selected (factory default: full-duplex).
