Connecting Devices to the Switch
The following procedure describes how to connect devices to the switchs RJ-45 ports.
When attaching devices to an FS726 or an FS750, the switchs support for Auto
Uplink technology allows you to attach devices using either straight-through or
crossover cables (for more information about Auto Link technology, refer to "Auto
Uplink " on page 12).
7. Connect each device to an RJ-45 network port on the switchs front panel (see
Figure 4-2). Use Category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated
with an RJ-45 connector to make these connections.
Figure 4-2. Connecting Devices to the Switch
Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between the switch and the
attached device to 100 m (328 ft).
