IntraCore IC3624PWR Layer 2 PoE Switch with Dual Gigabit
3.8 Ethernet Cabling
The cables you need are determined by the existing equipment.
To ensure proper operation when installing the switch into a network, make sure that the current cables are suitable
with either 10/100BaseTX, 10/100/1000BaseT or 1000BaseT operation. Check the following criteria against the
current installation of your network:
•
Cable type:
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables with RJ-45 connectors;
Category 3 or better for 10BaseT and Category 5 or better for 100BaseTX.
• Protection from radio frequency interference emissions
• Electrical surge suppression
• Separation of electrical wires (switch related or other) and electromagnetic fields from data based network wiring
• Safe connections with no damaged cables, connectors, or shields
RJ-45 Connector
When attaching a workstation to the switch, a standard straight-through CAT5 cable may be used.
3.9 Connecting to the Console Port
The DB-9 serial port located on the front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration.
The on-board configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program.
The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following tables.
