MDI-X port using straight-through cable. To connect between two

switches/hubs that only have fixed MDI-X ports, the wiring crossover

must be implemented in the cable - known as a crossover cable.

The RJ-45 ports on the switch base unit support automatic MDI/MDI-X

operation, which means that they automatically detect the wiring in the link

and configure as MDI or MDI-X accordingly. So for these ports, you can

use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect to any other

network device (PCs, servers, switches, hubs, or routers). However, note

that auto-negotiation must be enabled on these ports for automatic wiring

configuration to function properly.

See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port.

This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with

RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45

connector.
