VOLKTEK NSH-5632 MANAGED 24-SLOT 100BASE-TX/FX SFP + 4 G COMBO L3 SWITCH
3.6 Connecting Copper Cable
The 10/100/1000BASE-TX SFP RJ-45 Ethernet port fully supports auto-sensing and
auto-negotiation.
1. Insert one end of a Category 3/4/5/5e (see recommendation above) type twisted-
pair cable into an available RJ-45 port on the Switch and the other end into the
port of the network node.
2. Check the corresponding port LED on the Switch to ensure that the connection is
valid. (Refer to LED chart)
3.7 Connecting the Console Port Cable
The console port (DB-9) provides the out-of-band management facility.
1 Use null modem cable to connect the console port on the Switch and the other
end into the COM port of the computer.
2 Configure the Hyper Terminal settings as mentioned in chapter 5 or 6.3.1.
3.8 Connecting to computers or a LAN
You can use Ethernet cable to connect computers directly to the switch ports. You can
also connect hubs/switches to the switch ports by Ethernet cables. You can use either
the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable to connect computers, hubs, or
switches.
Use a twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect the 1000BASE-T port,
otherwise the link speed will not be able to reach 1Gbps.
3.9 Power On the Unit
Connect the AC power cord to the POWER receptacle on the back of the Switch and
plug the other end of the power cord into a wall outlet or a power strip.
Check the front LED indicators with the description in the next chapter. If the LEDs light
up as described, the Switch’s hardware is working properly.
