a pc can be connected to the switch via a two-pair category 3, 4, 5 utp/stp straight cable (cat. 3, 4, and 5 for 10m and cat. 5 for 100m). the pc (equipped with a rj-45 10/100 mbps jack) should be connected to any of the sixteen ports (1x -16x).

   

    the led indicators for pc connection are dependent on the lan card capabilities. if led indicators are not illuminated after making a proper connection, check the pc's lan card, the cable, switch conditions, and connections.

    the following are led indicator possibilities for a pc to switch connection:

    1. the 100mbps led indicator comes on for a 100 mbps connection and stays off for 10 mbps connection.

    2. the link/act led indicator illuminates upon hookup.
