Connecting Port Cables
This section describes how to connect the BayStack 350 switch ports to the
network. Depending on your network configuration requirements, connect the
RJ-45 port cables, 100BASE-FX port cables, or both. After connecting the port
cables, proceed to “Connecting Power” on
network. Depending on your network configuration requirements, connect the
RJ-45 port cables, 100BASE-FX port cables, or both. After connecting the port
cables, proceed to “Connecting Power” on
to connect the AC power
cord and power up the BayStack 350 switch.
The BayStack 350 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX switch ports are configured with
RJ-45 connectors that are wired as MDI-X ports. As in conventional Ethernet
repeater hubs, the BayStack 350 switch ports connect via straight-through cables
to the network interface card (NIC) in a node or server. When connecting to an
Ethernet hub or to another switch, you must use a crossover cable. Refer to
Appendix B, “Connectors and Pin Assignments,” for more information.

Note:
By default, all BayStack 350 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX switch ports are
set with the autonegotiation feature enabled. This feature allows any port to
match the best service provided by the connected station, up to 100 Mb/s in
full-duplex mode.
