Connecting Hubs or Other Switches
To make a switch-to-hub or switch-to-switch connection, please do the following:
1. Make sure you have the proper cables:
- Use Category 3 UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables or better for 10BASE-
T connections
- Use Category 5 UTP cables for 100BASE-TX connections.
2. Connect UTP Cable to regular port of FES-1800 Fast Ethernet Switch, which
is connected to port-8 on FES-1800 Fast Ethernet Switch. The switch must
be setup to X position before you connect cable in
Figure 5-1 illustrated an example of an expanded Network segment.

Cable Connections
Once the switch is correctly mounted as of the before, cables linked to end
nodes can be connected to the ports.
Caution: While connecting cables to the switch, make sure to turn off both the
switch and the connected equipment.
Connecting end nodes with a cable
To connect a cable to an end node, users must first turn off the end node. If the
end node is switched on while connecting it to the switch, it might result in a a loose
connection and damages on the adapter and the end node.
Connecting a cable to the switch
To connect a cable to the switch, the user should select an RJ-45 jack on the
switch’s rear panel; once plugging the cable into the end node's adapter, it should
be plugged into the switch's selected jack.
