Connect to the Network
The Lancast CenturySwitch is compatible with both 10Base-T and
100Base-TX devices. Network connections are made by simply plugging
the cables into the RJ-45 port connectors on the front panel as shown in
the figure below. Each port supports a maximum segment length of 100
meters over Category 5 UTP cables for 100Base-TX segments and
Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cables for 10-Base-T segments. Once power is
applied to the unit, use the individual Link/Act LEDs to verify correct
segment connectivity.

Fixed Ports
The CenturySwitch provides seven fixed RJ-45 ports with connectors for
devices wired crossover. The ports are labeled 1x through 7x. These dual-
speed ports are 10/100Mbps auto-sensing and will automatically detect
and operate at the speed of the connected device.
Module Port
Port 8 provides two RJ-45 connectors which support a device wired either
crossover (MDI-X) or parallel (MDI-II).
IMPORTANT: Do not connect devices to both the MDI-X and MDI-II
connectors at the same time. This can damage the unit and void its
warranty.
