you can increase the number of workstations that can connect to your network by adding officeconnect units (such as hubs and other switches). you can connect either a 10base-t or a 100base-tx officeconnect unit to each port of the switch. use the following method for each unit:

    1 connect the uplink/normal port of the unit to any of the switch′s ports (as shown in figure 4). if using the highest number port on the switch (port 4 on switch 4, port 8 on switch 8, port 16 on switch 16), set its uplink/normal switch to normal (out).

    2 set the uplink/normal switch on the unit to uplink (in).
