via the unit’s 10Base-T and 100Base-T ports.
10Base-T Ports
To connect a 10Base-T port on the 5216 or 5216xp Switch to a 10Base-T repeater/hub, or to another
5216 or 5216xp Switch, use a UTP (unshielded twisted-pair)
crossover cable
. See Figure 1.
To connect a 10Base-T port on the switch to a network station, use a UTP
straight-through cable
.
See Figure 1.
100Base-TX Ports
To
connect a 100Base-TX port on the switch to a 100Base-TX repeater/hub, or to another 5216 or
5216xp Switch port, use a UTP (Category 5)
crossover cable
. See Figure 2.
To connect the 100Base-TX port on the switch to a network station, use a UTP (Category 5)
straight-
through cable
.
See Figure 2
