Connecting Devices
Use standard Ethernet cable to connect the XGS-1008 to Ethernet devices
as shown below. Luxul recommends Category-5, super Category-5
or Category-6 unshielded twisted pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP). To
ensure best performance and stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps, use
Category-6 shielded twisted pair.
Connecting the XGS-1008 to a Device
When a device is properly connected, the Link/Activity LEDs for each port
lights up green/orange. Please refer to the section on LED Indicators for
definitions and troubleshooting.
Connecting to a Router or Other Switch
For best performance, and to maximize available ports, Luxul recommends
connecting LAN devices to the XGS-1008, then connecting the switch to a
router LAN port or another switch as shown in the illustration.
