Installation Guide for the Model SW108 Ethernet Switch

2-2 Physical Description

Ethernet Ports

The Model SW108 switch is equipped with eight 10 Mbps Ethernet ports that support one cable

connection, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. An eight-pin RJ-45 plug is used for connection

to these ports.

Each port uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have built-in LEDs, as illustrated in Figure 2-2. The

LEDs, as described in Table 2-1, indicate that the connection to the port is valid and that the port

is operating in full-duplex mode.

For further information about the vista RJ-45 connector and the RJ-45 plug, refer to Chapter B,

“Connector Pin Assignments.”

Normal/Uplink Push Button

As illustrated in Figure 2-1, port 8 on the switch is equipped with a Normal/Uplink push button

that allows you to select normal (MDI-X) wiring or uplink (MDI) wiring. The port is conﬁgured

for normal wiring when the push button is in the out position for connection to a PC. When the

push button is pressed in, the port is conﬁgured for uplink wiring for connection to another switch

or a hub using simple, straight-through wiring.
