An end node can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. The end node can be connected to any of the ports of the Switch. The Link/Act LEDs for each UTP port light green when the link is valid. The LED over the port label indicates a port speed of either 10/100 Mbps or 1000Mbps. A blinking LED on the bottom indicates packet activity on that port. Hub/Switch to DGS-2205 These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways using a standard Ethernet cable. · A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted-pair Category 3, 4, 5, or 5e UTP/STP cable. · A 100BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5 UTP/STP cable. · A 1000BASE-T switch can be connected to the Switch via a twisted -pair Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable.

D-Link DGS-2205 User Manual 18 Section 4 - Troubleshooting Troubleshooting 1. Why can´t I share my Internet connection to multiple computers when using my D-Link DGS-2205 switch?If you are connecting directly to a Cable or DSL modem, you will need a router to "share" your Internet connection or a computer using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) or Proxy. Switches and hubs do not allow you to share a single IP address to multiple computers. Another alternative is to contact your ISP and purchase extra IP addresses for each additional computer. Does the DGS-2205 switch have an uplink port?The DGS-2205 has Auto-MDI ports which automatically sense the type of cable being used (e. g. Straight-through or Crossover) and adjust themselves accordingly to pass data over the network. What is the maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between the DGS-2205 and other devices such as routers, switches, computers, etc. ?The maximum length of Category 3, 4 or 5 twisted pair cable that can be used between computers and other devices on a network is 100 meters or about 328 feet. Keep in mind that this is a theoretical limit. Usually, you will want to keep the distance between devices well below the limit.
