Connecting network devices
English
To connect network devices to the GigaX1024 switch.
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet port on the switch front panel. Connect the other end to the Ethernet port of the network device. Repeat this step to connect additional network devices.
NOTES
Use Category 5 Ethernet straight-through cables to ensure proper connections between the switch and other network devices.
You may use the switch Ethernet ports as an uplink to another switch, hub, bridge or repeater. The switch is capable of detecting and adjusting either cross-over or straight-through cables.
POWER
2. Plug one end of the power cable to the power connector on the switch rear panel, then plug the other end to an electrical outlet.
3. The Power LED and LED indicators for active Ethernet ports light up to indicate that the device is on and in use. Refer to the front panel Label/LED table in page 4 for LED indications.
