2.7 Making UTP Connections
TP Port Configuration
Use management function to set the required TP port configuration. It is recommended to set the
highest ability for the TP ports as follows:
Auto-negotiation = enabled
Speed = 100M
Duplex = Full
This is appropriate to support connection to almost every Ethernet device including any which is
not auto-negotiation capable.
Cables
Depending on the connection speed, use the appropriate UTP cables for the connections as
follows:
Speed Cables used Distance
100M Cat. 5, 5e, or higher grade 100 meters
10M Cat. 3, 4, 5, 5e, or higher grade 100 meters
Auto-MDI-X Function
An auto-MDI-X function will automatically detect if a crossover is required and make the swap
of Tx pair and Rx pair internally. With this function, straight-through cable can be used for any
connection. MDI to MDI-X connection rule is not necessary anymore. In the switches, all TP
ports are equipped with this function. You can use just straight-through type of cables for all your
connections.
2.8 Making Fiber Connection
For different fiber connections, several alternative models can be selected for different fiber
connections as follows:
Model Connector Cable Max. Distance*
S70553M ST MM 2 Km
S70554M SC MM 2 Km
S70555M-2 SC SM 20 Km
S70555M-5 SC SM 50 Km
S70555M-7 SC SM 70 Km
*: The maximum distance connecting to a full duplex device
The recommended multimode fiber is 62.5/125mm and 9/125mm for single mode fiber. The
following figure illustrates a connection example between two SC fiber ports:
