Chapter 4  Connecting The Switch 
This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet 
network. 
PC to Switch 
A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 
UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps 
phone jack) should be connected to any of the 5/8 numbered port. 
The LED indicators for PC connection depend on the LAN card capabilities. 
If LED indicators are not light after making a proper connection, check the 
PC LAN card, the cable, the Switch conditions and connections. The fol-
lowing are LED indicator possibilities for a PC to Switch connection:    The 
LNK/ACT and 100 LED indicators light green for hookup to 100Mbs speed. 
The LNK/ACT lights green, while 100 LED off for hookup to 10Mbps speed. 
Hub to Switch 
A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair 
Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight    or crossover cable. The connection is 
accomplished from the hub Uplink (MDI-X) or normal (MDI) port to any of 
the Switch (MDI/MDI-X) ports: 
A. 10BASE-T Hub 
For a 10BASE-T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the 
following:  
 
100 LED indicator is OFF. 
 
LNK/ACT LED indicator lights green.
 
B. 100BASE-TX Hub 
For a 100BASE-TX hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as 
the following: 
 
LNK/ACT,100 LED indicators light green.
