CONNECTING THE SWITCH

This chapter describes how to connect the DSS-5+ to your

Fast Ethernet network.

PC to Switch

A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category

3,4, or5 UTP/STP straight-through cable. For 100Mbps

operation Category 5 must be used. The PC (equipped with

a RJ-45 10Mb Ethernet or 100Mb Fast Ethernet NIC) should

be connected to any of the 5 ports (1x - 5x) for the DSS-5+.

The LED indicators for PC connection are dependent on the

LAN card capabilities. If the LED indicators do not light

after making a proper connection, check the PC LAN card,

the cable, the Switch conditions and connections.

The following are possible DSS-5+ LED read outs for a PC to

Switch connection:

1. The “100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT” LED indicator

lights green for a good link at 100Mbps or lights

amber for a good link at 10Mbps.

2. The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator shows

whether the NIC is connected at full-duplex or half-

duplex. Usually a NIC can be set to either duplex

mode under Properties in the Network Properties

Control Panel window.
