1. Uplink
The Uplink port is used to connect to other switches or
hubs. The Uplink port is shared with the port #1.
2. RJ-45 Ports
EightshieldedRJ-45ports,all comewithauto-negotiation
and operate at 10/100Mbps for connection to servers
and hubs. All ports can be configurated for Full/Half-
Duplexmode.
3. Power Connector

Network Connection
The following figures illustrate the connections of the 8-
Port N-Way Mini Switch.
PC to Switch
A PC can be connected to the 8-Port N-Way Mini Switch via
a two-pair Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP straight cable. The PC
(equipped with a RJ-45 100/10Mbps jack) should be
connected to any of the eight ports.

The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC to the
N-Way Mini Switch connection:
1. The Speed/Act. LED indicator illuminates upon
hookup.
2. The FDX/Col. LED indicator depends upon LAN
card capabilities.
Switch to Hub
A hub (10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to
the N-Way Switch via a two-pair Category 3/4/5 UTP/STP
straight cable. The connection is accomplished from any
normal port of the N-Way Mini Switch to the uplink port of
the connected hub.

Hub without Uplink Port
Using straight cable
When using straight cable, the connection can be made
from the Uplink port shared with the port #8 of the 8-Port N-
Way Mini Switch to any port of the Hub.
Using crossover cable
When using crossover cable, the connection can be made
from any port (the port #1-8) of the 8-Port N-Way Mini Switch
to any port of the Hub.
