1.1.2. Connecting to the Network
To connect the switch to the network:
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the numbered Ethernet ports of
the switch. The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active.
3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device to connect to the switch.
We strongly recommend using CAT-5E or better cable to connect network devices.
When connecting network devices, do not exceed the maximum cabling distance of
100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to one minute for attached devices or the LAN
to be operational after it is connected. This is normal behavior.
Connect the switch to end nodes using a standard Cat 5/5e Ethernet cable (UTP/STP) to
connect the switch to end nodes as shown in the illustration below.
Switch ports will automatically adjust to the characteristics (MDI/MDI-X, speed, duplex) of
the device to which the switch is connected.
1.1.3. Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility
This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility. Be sure to
disable any pop-up blocker.
Browser Restrictions
•
If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use an IPv6
address to access the device. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain Name System)
server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address, and then use that domain
name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address.
•
If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global
address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your browser.
