Hub to Switch A hub can be connected via a two-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. For 1000Mbps operation a Category 5 cable must be used. The connection is accomplished from any port of the hub to any port of the SG5. SG5 to Other Devices The SG5 can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable. A Category 5 cable must be used for 1000Mbps operation. The connection can be accomplished from any port on the SG5 to any of the 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps ports on another switch or other devices. Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode, auto-detecting the network speed for any new twisted-pair connection. If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-
negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is initiated to select the speed and half-duplex mode is selected. SG5 5 Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Quick Installation Guide The SG5 is very easy to set up; no network management is required. Just power it up and connect the cables. Keep in mind the length of an Ethernet cable from one device to another cannot exceed 100 meters. Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The Auto MDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the switch just plug either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port. LED Indicators LED Panel signature Power Indicator Power Status Indicator 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 Status Description Green ON Switch is powered ON OFF Switch is powered OFF Green ON Link Green Blinking Activity OFF No link path Cable Quality For connections to the SG5, use these rules to determine which cable to use. For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices use Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable. For connections to 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices use Category 5e or UTP/STP cable. All 1000BASE-T connections operate in full duplex mode. PC to Switch A computer can be connected via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP Straight-Through or Crossover cable to any of the five ports. LED indicators for the PC connection depend on the capability of the computers Ethernet card. If the LED indicators are not lit after making a proper connection, check the computers Ethernet card, the cable, and the SG5s conditions and connections. Continued FCC Information and Copyright This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
