Uplink/Expansion ModuleSlot
The Uplink/Expansion Module slot allows you to attach optional media dependent
adapters (MDAs) that support a range of media types (see

10BASE-T Port Connectors
Your BayStack 410-24T switch uses 10BASE-T (8-pin modular) port connectors.
All BayStack 410-24T switches are shipped with port connectors configured as
MDI-X (media-dependent interface-crossover). These ports connect over straight
cables to the network interface controller (NIC) card in a node or server, similar to
a conventional Ethernet repeater hub. If you are connecting to another Ethernet
hub or Ethernet switch, you need a crossover cable unless an MDI connection
exists on the associated port of the attached device (see “

Your switch ports support half- and full-duplex mode operation and use RJ-45

Note:
The Console/Comm Port is configured as a data communications
equipment (DCE) connector. Ensure that your RS-232 cable pinouts are

Note:
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX MDA ports (optional) must use Category 5
UTP cable to accommodate the 100BASE-TX functionality.
