Quick Start Manual

2. Connect one end of the AC power cord cable to the power
outlet on the rear panel of the switch and the other end of
the AC power cord to the wall outlet.
RJ-45 Connector
The RJ-45 connector (shown in the illustration with an RJ-45 plug) is
used to connect workstations, hubs, and switches through unshielded
twisted pair cable. The RJ-45 connector accepts four-pair Category 3
(10 Mbps) or Category 5(100 Mbps) UTP cable.
When power has been applied to the switch:
The green Power LED on the front panel is on.
The green Link LED on each connected port is on.
When the switch is connected and operating, refer to the table in
"LEDs" for information about the LEDs and their activity.

Auto Uplink
TM
The Auto Uplink technology that NETGEAR has included in this
product will automatically sense whether the straight-through cable
plugged into any port should have a normal connection, e.g.connect-
ing to a PC; or an uplink connection, e.g. connecting to a router,
switch , or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct con-
figuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about
crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of
cable to make the right connection.
Note: Auto Uplink will compensate for setting uplink con-
nections, and crossover or straight-through cables. Using
Auto Uplink to create multiple paths between any two net-
work devices will disable your network.
Note: Auto Uplink will automatically determine which
assignment is needed to make the right link.
