Stations Connection
Connect each station to the switch by twisted-pair
cable. Plug one RJ-45 connector into a RJ-45 port
of the switch, and plug the other RJ-45 connector
into the station's network adapter. Power on the
switch and then system is ready.
For cable selection, refer to the following table.
The switch supports port-based QoS as the
following table:
Model
High-priority
ports
5-Port Model:
Port 1, 2
8-Port Model:
Port 1, 2 and 3
The bandwidth ratio of high priority port to low
priority port is 16:1.
Switches Connection
In making a switch interconnection, you could use
any port to connect another switch with straight or
crossover cable. As all the ports support auto MDI
/ MDI-X function, using a straight cable to make a
switch-to-switch connection is allowed.
For cable selection, refer to the following table:
