Physical Description
The physical description of the device includes:
❑Ports 1 through 4
❑Port 5 and the plink port
❑LEDs
❑Power supply
Ports 1 Through 4
Ports 1 through 4 can operate at either 10 Mbps
or 100 speed and in either full- or half-duplex
mode. The ports, featuring RJ-45 connectors,
are configured as MDI-X, meaning that you can
connect a workstation or server to one of the
ports without using a crossover cable. The ports
have a maximum operating distance of 100
meters (328 feet) using category 5 cable.
54321
Uplink

4
The ports are IEEE802.3u Auto-Negotiation
compliant. This means that the ports can
automatically configure their speed and duplex
mode to match the capabilities of the end nodes
connected to the ports.
Port 5 and the Uplink Port
Port 5 and the plink port allow you to connect
an additional workstation to the hub or
interconnect the switching hub with another
switch or hub, without the use of a cross-over
cable. If you need to connect an additional
workstation to the device, use Port 5, which is
configured as MDI-X, just like ports 1 through
4. If you need to connect the device to a switch
or another hub, use the plink port, which is
configured as MDI.
Both Port 5 and the plink port offer 10 Mbps
or 100 Mbps performance and auto-negotiation
operation for both speed and duplex mode, just
like ports 1 through 4. Both ports feature an
RJ-45 connector and have a maximum
operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet)
using category 5 cable.
Note
You can use either port 5 or the plink
port. You cannot use both
simultaneously.
