Overview

This Ethernet-over-VDSL system consists of end-user CPEs (Customer

Premise Equipment) connected to a VDSL switch by standard telephone

cable. The VDSL connection delivers an Ethernet data link while

simultaneously supporting standard telephone services. The system can be

deployed in any multi-dwelling/multi-tenant environment (apartment

blocks, hotels, or office complex) to provide both high-speed Internet

access and telephone services without any need for re-wiring.

The VDSL switch has a built-in POTS splitter that combines both the data

and phone signals coming from your Internet and telephone service

providers, and passes these signals directly over standard telephone wiring

to multiple users in the same building. A CPE is then used to separate

these signals and pass them on to a customer’s computer and telephone

equipment. Using the pre-defined profiles, in-building connections can

operate up to 100 Mbps upstream and downstream for runs up to 200

meters (656 ft).

Note: Type-1 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4 mm, or Type-2 24 AWG (100

ohm)/0.5 mm cable may be installed to achieve the maximum

distance. However, typically 24 AWG

(100 ohm)/0.5 mm wire

provides better performance than 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4

mm wire.

Note the distance may be limited by factors such as how the cable is

bundled, and the interference and noise on the link.

The VDSL switch is typically located in a wiring closet or other central

location of a multi-dwelling/multi-tenant unit, campus or enterprise. An

Internet connection is provided from the ISP to the customer’s building

over fiber optic cable, running Ethernet directly over a 1 Gbps connection.

(Trunking both uplink ports together can provide a 2 Gbps connection.)

This kind of WAN connection is referred to as fiber To The Building

(FTTB). The data and phone signals for each user are combined in the

switch, and passed over VDSL lines to individual customers.

The CPE at the other end of the VDSL line connects to any PC or

Macintosh equipped with a 10/100BASE-TX network interface card. Your

existing telephone, modem, or fax machine simply plugs into the CPE’s

phone port. There is no need for special terminators or filters. In fact,

there is no need to modify your wiring at all. Since the VDSL connection is

based on Ethernet, no further complex software configurations are

required.

VDSL Technology

VDSL2 (Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line) is at the high-end of

all the DSL technologies, offering the best combination of fiber optic and

copper to provide high-speed broadband Internet access. VDSL’s primary

application is in providing a broadband data service to multi-tenant

residential or commercial buildings. In this implementation, fiber optic

cable carries data from an Internet Service Provider to the building; then

the installed telephone copper wires take the data and deliver it to

individual units within that building.

Figure 1-1 VDSL Application

VDSL provides high-speed Internet access over existing phone lines by

making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice

band (i.e., up to 30 MHz with VDSL2). By placing VDSL signals above the

frequency of the voice signal, a VDSL service can coexist on the

same line

as other telephone services. VDSL can operate

symmetrically, providing the

same data rate in both directions, or a

symmetrically, providing

a higher data

rate in the downstream (receive) direction than in the upstream (transmit)

direction.

VDSL can deliver high-performance online applications, such as

high-quality video and other switched multimedia services. This

Ethernet-over-VDSL system provides robust performance, with a

maximum symmetric data rate of 100 Mbps for runs up to 200 meters

(656 ft). This system is based on advanced VDSL2 Multi-Carrier

Modulation (MCM) technology with adaptive channel equalization that

overcomes bridge taps and other line distortions. Reed-Solomon Forward

Error Correction and interleaving protect against errors due to impulse

noise and enable recovery from signal interruptions. Frequency Division

Duplexing (FDD) separates downstream and upstream channels and

allows VDSL signals to coexist with regular telephone services. A power

back-off mechanism is also implemented to reduce noise from crosstalk in

line bundles.

Switch Architecture

The VDSL Switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric.

This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low

latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all

ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.

For communications between different VLANs, this switch uses IP

routing. For communications within the same VLAN, the switch uses

store-and-forward switching to ensure maximum data integrity. With

store-and-forward switching, the entire packet must be received into a

buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents

errors from being propagated throughout the network.

Network Management Options

This switch contains a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”

monitoring of network and port status. It also includes a management

agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its

embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage

the switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port

(out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network

ESCRIPTION

connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or

SNMP-based network management software.

The management port provides a dedicated management channel that

operates outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to

re-configure or troubleshoot the switch over either a local or remote

connection when access via the data channel is not possible or deemed

insecure.

For a detailed description of the switch’s advanced features, refer to the

Management Guide.

Description of Hardware

This device is an intelligent Layer 2 VDSL2 switch with 16 VDSL ports for

subscriber access to the data network, and two Gigabit Ethernet

combination ports* for uplink traffic. The uplink ports are implemented as

10/100/1000BASE-T ports shared with SFP transceiver slots (see Figure

1-1, Ports 17-18). The switch also includes one 10/100BASE-TX port for

dedicated management access (which can be operated outside the data

channel).

The VDSL switch combines data and voice signals for delivery over

standard telephone cable to multiple users in residential or commercial

buildings. Ethernet data signals are received on the switch uplink port(s)

and passed to the 16 VDSL ports on the front panel via 16 internal

Ethernet ports.

* If an SFP transceiver is plugged in, the corresponding RJ-45 port (17 or 18) is disabled.

The following figure shows the components of the VDSL switch.

Figure 1-2 Front and Rear Panels

RJ-21 Ports

The RJ-21 ports on the switch front panel support 16 twisted-pair

connections. The “Line” port connects to end-user CPEs through a

punch-down box. The “POTS” port connects to the local PBX or directly

to telephone lines from the CO.

1000BASE-T Ports

The switch contains two Gigabit RJ-45 ports shared with alternate Small

Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. The 1000BASE-T RJ-45

ports operate at 10/100 Mbps, half/full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full

duplex. Because all of the RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X

operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections

to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin

Assignments” on page B-3.)

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum

transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000

Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these

ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that

port can be configured manually.

Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch

can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.

Note: If an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and

has a valid link on the port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled.

SFP Slots

The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with

RJ-45 ports (ports 17~18). In its default configuration, if an SFP

transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link

on its port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The

switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot,

as required.

Note that 1000BASE-SX transceivers use multimode duplex fiber cable,

1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX transceivers use single-mode duplex

fiber cable.

Management Port

The 100BASE-TX port labeled “Mgmt” provides a dedicated management

interface which is segregated from the data traffic crossing the other ports.

This port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum data rate and

transmission mode (10/100 Mbps at half/full duplex) can be selected

automatically, if this feature is also supported by the attached device.

However, note that the interface connection parameters of this port

cannot be configured.

Introduction to Switching

A network switch allows simultaneous transmission of multiple packets via

non-crossbar switching. This means that it can partition a network more

efficiently than bridges or routers. The switch has, therefore, been

recognized as one of the most important building blocks for today’s

networking technology.

When performance bottlenecks are caused by congestion at the network

access point (such as the network card for a high-volume file server), the

device experiencing congestion (server or power user) can be attached

directly to a switched port. And, by using full-duplex mode, the bandwidth

to the end-user can be doubled to maximize throughput.

A switch can be easily configured in any Ethernet network to significantly

boost bandwidth while using conventional cabling and network cards.

Application Examples

VDSL provides significant savings on network installation, equipment and

service fees. Internet services operate over existing phone cabling and a

minimal amount of network equipment. The only changes require

installing a VDSL CPE for each client, and a VDSL switch in the basement

wiring closet. Internet service can then be provided over a direct Ethernet

connectio

n from your ISP. For non-commercial environments, you can run

the switch through a broadband router at the customer’s site. This will

allow you to use a single-user account and ISP sharing to significantly

reduce network access charges.

upstream over 200 meters. Cable distances also can run up to 1.5 km at

lower transmission rates. Installation is extremely economical for

multiple-tenant dwellings such as apartment buildings, hotels or school

dormitories, as well as commercial buildings.

VDSL provides multiple-user access to the Internet with benefits

including:

• Internet services such as e-mail over faster connections than currently

possible with other options such as cable modem or ADSL

• Multimedia applications such as video and virtual gaming made

available to the broader public for the first time

• Access to corporate intranets at speeds close to that available in the

office

• Both local network applications and Internet services are supported

for commercial environments

Internet Connections

The figure below shows a VDSL switch providing a broadband data

service to a multi-tenant residential or commercial building. In this

implementation, fiber optic cable carries data from a telephone company’s

central office to the building; then the installed telephone copper wires

take the data and deliver it to individual units within that building.

Remote Connections with Fiber Cable

Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type.

A 1000BASE-SX MMF Gigabit link can connect to a site up to 550m

away, a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 10 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link

up to 70 km. This allows end-users at two sites to use the same Internet

connection, share server resources, and communicate with each other.

In the figure below, a 1000BASE-SX port on the switch in Building 1 is

providing 1000 Mbps connectivity to the switch in Building 2.

Figure 2-2 Remote Connections with Fiber Cable

Making VLAN Connections

This switch supports VLANs which can be used to organize any group of

network nodes into separate broadcast domains. VLANs confine

broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast

storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network

environment.

VLANs can be based on untagged port groups, or traffic can be explicitly

tagged to identify the VLAN group to which it belongs. Untagged VLANs

can be used for small networks attached to a single switch. However,

tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the VLANs

assigned to the inter-switch links.

This switch also has a Private VLAN feature. This allows modification of

the default VLAN to provide port-based security and isolation between

ports within the VLAN. Data traffic on these ports can only be forwarded

to, and from, the uplink port. Private VLANs and normal VLANs can

exist simultaneously within the same switch.

In the figure below, ports 1-5 are connected to four end users and a server

in a normal VLAN configuration. The remaining ports are configured into

a private VLAN.

Application Notes

1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as

when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch).

When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in

half-duplex mode.

2. To interconnect distinct VLANs or IP subnets, you can attach the

switch to a standard Layer 3 router. For network applications that

require routing between dissimilar network types, you can attach the

switch directly to a router.

3. As a general rule the length of fiber optic cable for a single switched

link should not exceed:

• 1000BASE-SX: 550 m (1805 ft) for multimode fiber.

• 1000BASE-LX: 5 km (3.2 miles) for single-mode fiber.

• 1000BASE-ZX: 70 km (43 miles) for single-mode fiber.

However, power budget constraints must also be considered when

calculating the maximum cable length for your specific environment.

Preparing the Site for VDSL/POTS Connections

In multi-tenant buildings, phone lines from the service provider enter the

site and are terminated at a location referred to as the MPOE (Minimum

Point of Entry). The MPOE is the “demarcation” point where the service

provider’s cables end and that of the building’s owner/customer begins.

An MPOE typically consists of two sets of punch-down blocks; one from

the service provider, and the other from the customer. The customer’s

punch-down blocks are connected to PBX or MDF equipment in the

building. A PBX may have either analog or digital cards that provide the

phone lines to individual end users. The PBX lines are usually connected

to the end users through another set of punch-down blocks or patch

panels. The following figure displays the normal wiring before installing

the VDSL switch.

Installing Additional Equipment

The VDSL switch should be installed close to the PBX, punch-down

blocks, and patch panels, usually in the basement or wiring closet. You may

also want to install a rack for distribution equipment (switches, routers

etc.), and extra punch-down blocks or patch panels for flexibility and

future applications or expansion.

An optional patch panel can be used to connect the circuits between the

switch and the punch-down blocks. If a patch panel is not used, the switch

connects directly to the PBX for the incoming phone lines and the

punch-down block used for the VDSL lines running up to the end users.

In this case, the punch-down blocks must have an RJ-21 connector.

Figure 3-2 Wiring after Switch Installation

Verifying Site Requirement

Before you start installing the switch, make sure you can provide the right

operating environment, including power requirements, sufficient physical

space, and proximity to other network devices that are to be connected. Be

fluorescent lighting fixtures and other sources of electrical interference,

such as radios and transmitters.

• Make sure that the unit is connected to a separate grounded power outlet

that provides 100 to 240 VAC (± 10%), 50 to 60 Hz (± 3Hz), is within 2

m (6.6 feet) of each device and is powered from an independent circuit

breaker. As with any equipment, using a filter or surge suppressor is

recommended.

Installing Ethernet Cabling

To ensure proper operation when installing switches into a network, make

sure that the current cables are suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX or

1000BASE-T operation. Check the following criteria against the current

installation of your network:

• Cable type should be unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted

pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors; Category 3 or better for

10BASE-T, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX, and Category 5, 5e or

6 for 1000BASE-T.

To install an SFP transceiver, do the following:

1. Consider network and cabling requirements to select an appropriate

SFP transceiver type.

2. Insert the transceiver with the optical connector facing outward and

the slot connector facing down. Note that SFP transceivers are keyed

so they can only be installed in the correct orientation.

3. Slide the SFP transceiver into the slot until it clicks into place.

Note: SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to

be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver.

However, always first disconnect the network cable before

removing a transceiver.

Connecting to a Power Source

To connect a device to a power source:

1. First verify that the external AC power supply can provide 100 to 240

VAC, 50-60 Hz, 1 A minimum.

2. Plug the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.

Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line

cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for

the socket type in your country.

3. Insert the plug on the other end of the power directly into the socket

located on the front of the switch.

Figure 3-8 Power Socket

4. Check the front-panel LEDs as the switch is powered on to be sure

the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly

plugged in. The switch will automatically select the setting that

matches the connected input voltage. Therefore, no additional

adjustments are necessary when connecting it to any input voltage

within the range marked on the front panel.

Notes: 1. The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on.

2. The unit supports a “hot remove” feature which permits you to

connect or disconnect network cables without powering off the unit

ONNECTIONS

The TigerAccess EE Switch is designed to connect subscriber ports via

VDSL lines, and uplink to the service provider’s network via twisted-pair

or fiber optic cabling. The uplink ports can be connected to network cards

in PCs and servers, as well as to hubs, switches or routers. The dedicated

management port is designed for local configuration access outside of the

data network.

Connecting RJ-21 Cables

For incoming phone lines, a switch can connect directly to a PBX or can

be connected via a punch-down block or patch panel. The particular

connection method used will depend on the type of connectors and cables

supported on the PBX, and on the existing cabling in the building.

The RJ-21 cables from the switch are connected to the punch-down block

that connects the phone lines and run up to the end users.

For all connections to the switch, cables with standard Telco RJ-21

connectors must be used. Some punch-down blocks and panels can be

pre-wired with an RJ-21 connector, making the connection simple.

Otherwise, a cable with an RJ-21 on one end and free wiring on the other

end will be required.

Note: RJ-21 Cable is Type-1 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4 mm, or Type-2 24

each end. Typically 24 AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm wire provides

better performance than 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm wire.

Connecting to the Punch-down Blocks

The switch connects directly to the PBX and building’s phone-line

punch-down block with RJ-21 connectors. Follow the steps listed below to

connect the switch.

1. Connect one RJ-21 cable from the PBX/MDF to the RJ-21 connector

on the rear of the switch labeled “POTS.”

2. Connect another RJ-21 cable from the punch-down block to the RJ-21

connector on the rear of the switch labeled “VDSL.” Note that the

connection to the punch down block usually requires punching down

the free wires from the RJ-21 cable.

The RJ-21 ports on punch-down blocks must be wired to match the pin

assignments of ports on the back of the switch. To ensure that your cables

are properly wired, refer to “RJ-21 Port Pin Assignments” on page B-8.

Note: If you are using a patch panel, connect the RJ-21 ports on the back

of the switch directly to the corresponding ports on the patch

panel, and then manually wire each pair (up to 16) from the patch

panel to the punch-down blocks.

Connecting Twisted-Pair Devices

Each device requires an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45

connectors at both ends. Use Category 5, 5e or 6 cable for 1000BASE-T

connections, Category 5 or better for 100BASE-TX connections, and

Category 3 or better for 10BASE-T connections.

Cabling Guidelines

The RJ-45 ports on the switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X pinout

configuration, so you can use standard straight-through twisted-pair cables

to connect to any other network device (PCs, servers, switches, routers, or

hubs). See Appendix B for further information on cabling.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This

will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45

connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Network Wiring Connections

Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable to an available uplink port on the

switch in the wiring closet, and the other end to the Internet Service

Provider’s network equipment.

Connecting Fiber Optic Devices

An optional SFP transceiver (1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX or

1000BASE-ZX) can be used for a backbone connection to your Internet

Service Provider, or for connecting to a high-speed server.

Each single-mode fiber port requires 9/125 micron single-mode fiber

optic cable with an LC connector at both ends. Each multimode fiber optic

port requires 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber optic cabling

with an LC connector at both ends. 1000BASE-SX/LX/ZX uses duplex

fiber, operating at a frequency of 1310 nm for both transmit and receive

signals.

Warning: This switch uses lasers to transmit signals over fiber optic

cable. The lasers are compliant with the requirements of a

Class 1 Laser Product and are inherently eye safe in normal

operation. However, you should never look directly at a

transmit port when it is powered on.

Note: When selecting a fiber SFP device, considering safety, please make

sure that it can function at a temperature that is not less than the

recommended maximum operational temperature of the product.

You must also use an approved Laser Class 1 SFP transceiver.

1. Remove and keep the LC port’s rubber cover. When not connected to

a fiber cable, the rubber cover should be replaced to protect the optics.

2. Check that the fiber terminators are clean. You can clean the cable

plugs by wiping them gently with a clean tissue or cotton ball

moistened with a little ethanol. Dirty fiber terminators on fiber cables

will impair the quality of the light transmitted through the cable and

lead to degraded performance on the port.

ONNECTIVITY

ULES

3. Connect one end of the cable to the LC port on the switch and the

other end to the LC port on the other device. Since LC connectors are

keyed, the cable can be attached in only one orientation.

Figure 4-5 Making LC Port Connections

4. As a connection is made, check the Link LED on the switch

corresponding to the port to be sure that the connection is valid.

The 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX fiber optic ports

operate at 1 Gbps full duplex. All of these SFP modules also support

auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum length for fiber optic

cable depends on the fiber type as listed under “1000 Mbps Gigabit

Ethernet Cable Lengths” on page 4-8.

Connectivity Rules

When adding hubs (repeaters) to your network, please follow the

connectivity rules listed in the manuals for these products. However,

note that because switches break up the path for connected devices into

separate collision domains, you should not include the switch or connected

cabling in your calculations for cascade length involving other devices.

1000BASE-T Cable Requirements

All Category 5 UTP cables that are used for 100BASE-TX connections

should also work for 1000BASE-T, providing that all four wire pairs are

connected. However, it is recommended that for all critical connections, or

any new cable installations, Category 5e (enhanced Category 5) or

Category 6 cable should be used. The Category 5e specification includes

test parameters that are only recommendations for Category 5. Therefore,

the first step in preparing existing Category 5 cabling for running

1000BASE-T is a simple test of the cable installation to be sure that it

complies with the IEEE 802.3-2005 standards.

Cable Labeling and Connection Records

When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing

ends of cables and to record where each cable is connected. Doing so will

enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and

change your topology without need for unnecessary time consumption.

To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow

these guidelines:

• Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.

• Using your building’s floor plans, draw a map of the location of all

network-connected equipment. For each piece of equipment, identify

the devices to which it is connected.

• Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length

supported by the switch ports.

• For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning

prefixes to your cable labeling.

• Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same

equipment.

• Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.

• Label each separate piece of equipment.

• Display a copy of your equipment map, including keys to all

abbreviations at each equipment rack.

Power and Cooling Problems

If the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in,

you may have a problem with the power outlet, power cord, or internal

power supply. However, if the unit powers off after running for a while,

check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at the power

outlet, and verify that the fans on the unit are unobstructed and running

prior to shutdown. If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the internal

power supply may be defective.

Installation

Verify that all system components have been properly installed. If one or

more components appear to be malfunctioning (such as the power cord or

network cabling), test them in an alternate environment where you are sure

that all the other components are functioning properly.

In-Band Access

You can access the management agent in the switch from anywhere within

the attached network using Telnet, Secure Shell, a web browser, or other

network management software such as SMC EliteView. However, you

must first configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask, and

default gateway. If you have trouble establishing a link to the management

agent, check to see if you have a valid network connection. Then verify

that you entered the correct IP address. Also, be sure the port through

which you are connecting to the switch has not been disabled. If it has not

been disabled, then check the network cabling that runs between your

remote location and the switch.

Also, note that the switch may be configured to prevent management

access from a connection through the data ports (1-16). Refer to the

Management Guide for detailed information on this configuration option.

Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments

For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have

two pairs of wires. For 1000BASE-T connections the twisted-pair cable

must have four pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different

colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with

white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of

the cable.

Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a

specific orientation.

Caution: DO NOT plug an RJ-11 connector into any RJ-45 port. Use

only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform

with FCC standards.

Figure B-1 illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered.

Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the

wires to the pins.

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments

Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable

for RJ-45 connections: 100-ohm Category 3 or better cable for 10 Mbps

connections, or 100-ohm Category 5 or better cable for 100 Mbps

connections. Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection

does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet)

All RJ-45 ports on this switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,

so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs

or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1,

2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins

1, 2, 3 and 6 at the other end of the cable. When using any RJ-45 port on

this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable.

Note: Auto-negotiation must be enabled for automatic MDI/MDI-X

pinout configuration.

Straight-Through Wiring

If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has

an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be straight-

through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this

switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect

to any device type.)

You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in the following diagram to

support Gigabit Ethernet connections.

1000BASE-T Pin Assignments

1000BASE-T ports switch support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so

you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or

servers, or to other switches or hubs.

The table below shows the 1000BASE-T MDI and MDI-X port pinouts.

These ports require that all four pairs of wires be connected. Note that for

1000BASE-T operation, all four pairs of wires are used for both transmit

and receive.

Use 100-ohm Category 5, 5e, or better unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or

shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for 1000BASE-T connections. Also be

sure

that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100
