Installation
As shown in Figure 8, when using straight cable, the connection is made from
the uplink (MDI) port of the switch to any port of the hub. Figure 8 also
demonstrates that the connection can be made from any (1X-4X) port of the
switch to any port of the hub when using crossover cable.
Switch-to-Switch Installation
The AT-FS704 switch can be connected to any switch or other device (routers
or bridges) using a two-pair Category 5 UTP/STP RJ45 straight or crossover
cable, as shown in Figure 9.
