Installation Overview
Installation Overview
Caution: The DWS-1008 switch has been designed and tested to be installed in an operating
ambient temperature of 0° C to +40° C (32° F to 104° F). To reduce the risk of equipment
damage, install equipment with consideration to these ambient conditions.
Serial Console Cable
The serial console port has a female DB-9 connector and supports the EIA-232D signaling
standard. You need a standard DB-9-male-to-DB-9-female PC modem cable.

10/100 Ethernet Cable Wiring
Connections on the 10/100 ports require CAT5 cable based on the EIA/TIA-586 standard.
The 10/100 Ethernet ports on the DWS-1008 switch provide automatic MDI/MDX, which
automatically crosses over the send and receive signals if required.
The table below lists the pin signals for 10/100 Ethernet straight-through wiring. Pins 4, 5,
7, and 8 are used only when Power over Ethernet (PoE) is enabled on the port. RD means
Receive Data and TD means Transmit Data.

Note: Mounting a DWL-8220AP access point on a solid surface requires CAT5 cable that
does not have strain relief. For installation on all other surfaces, you can use CAT5 cable
with or without strain relief.
