[. . . ] Each port automatically detects the speed and duplex of the attached cabling to a network card, switch, hub, etc. The ports operate in either full or half duplex, which lets you run at speeds of 200mbps, 100mbps, 20mbps or 10mbps. Each port on your Switch can connect to workstations, file servers, hubs, repeaters, bridges, routers or other switches. Connections to the switch require Category 5 UTP network cabling with RJ-45 tips, not to exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length. See page 10 for more details on cabling. To connect a computer directly to the switch, plug one end of the cable into the switch, then plug the other end of the cable into the computer's network adapter. Uplinking to Other Switches and Hubs Switches, hubs, and similar network devices are uplinked to your Switch with straight-through Category 5 cabling. Attach the Category 5 cabling to the uplink port of the network device that you are uplinking to the Switch, and plug the other end of the cable into any standard RJ-45 port on your Switch. Using the uplink port will automatically disable the port directly next to it, since the uplink port is a shared port. Powering On the Switch Plug in the Switch's AC power adapter. Each time your Switch powers up, it will run a Diagnostic/Self-Test. After the test, the Power LED will light up. As connections to the Switch's LEDs are powered on, each port's corresponding Link/Act LED will light up. The remaining LEDs will also light up according to how your data is being transferred, e. g. If the Switch experiences excessive data collisions, verify that your network cabling is securely crimped and installed properly. Reading the Front Panel LEDs The chart below tells you what the front panel LEDs of the 5-Port Switches mean. Each Switch has a Power LED on the left side to indicate when the unit is ON.

The Switch can communicate with all its connections simultaneously, whereas a hub can only communicate with one workstation at a time, in half duplex transfer mode. · Conserving Bandwidth with 10Mbps & 100Mbps Segments 10BaseT and 100BaseTX hardware are not readily compatible, but your 10/100 Switch can designate network segments of different speeds. This allows you to run one 10mbps segment to serve users without a need for considerable speed, and a faster 100mbps segment devoted to users who depend heavily on graphics, multimedia, database, or other speed-intensive applications. With switched segmentation, your 100mbps users will not be slowed down by the users on the 10mbps segment. · Run 10Mbps Peripherals in Your Fast Ethernet Network Most of the network peripherals in place today run at 10mbps, since 10BaseT has been the standard network speed to date. [. . . ] Face the clip down so that the copper side faces up (the springy clip will now be parallel to the floor). When looking down on the copper side, wire 1 will be on the far left. 10 11 Instant EtherFast® Series 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Switch Specifications Model Numbers Standards Flow Control Protocol Ports Speed Per Port (Mbps) MAC Addresses Max Frame Size Buffer Memory Cabling Type LED Display EZXS55W v2 IEEE 802. 3 (10BaseT), IEEE 802. 3u (100BaseTX) IEEE 802. 3x Full Duplex Control CSMA/CD Five 10BaseT/100BaseTX RJ-45 Ports, plus One Shared RJ-45 Uplink Port 10 or 100 (Half Duplex) 20 or 200 (Full Duplex) 1024 Unicast Table Entries Unlimited Multicast Broadcast Entries 1518 Bytes 1MB Category 5 UTP (or better) Power, Link/Act, FD/Col, 100 (per port) Customer Support For help with the installation or operation of your EtherFast 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Switch, contact Linksys Customer Support at one of the phone numbers or Internet addresses below.
