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.

We recommend the use of Category 5 Ethernet straight-through cables to
ensure proper connections between the switch and other network devices.
You can use either cross-over or straight-through cables to connect other
network devices such as bridges, switches, hubs, and repeaters.
