Linksys Switch EZXS55W CA User Manual

Switches are network devices that connect computers together in a network and help trans-  
fer data across the network. The EtherFast 5-Port Switch is 10/100Mbps and uses half-  
duplex and full-duplex modes.  
Connect Computers to the Switch  
Your network revolves around your switch. To network your computers, you should not  
connect your computers directly to one another; instead, you should connect them through  
your switch.  
The Switchs rear panel has five RJ-45  
ports, plus a shared Uplink port. Each  
RJ-45 port is used to connect a comput-  
er to the Switch, while the Uplink port  
is used to connect the Switch to other  
network devices. Connections to the  
Switch require UTP Category 5 (or bet-  
ter) network cabling with RJ-45 tips, not  
to exceed 100 meters (328 feet) in length.  
The EtherFast 5-Port Switch’s  
Ports  
To connect a computer directly to the Switch, plug one end of the cable into any available  
port marked 1-5 on the back of the Switch, and then plug the other end of the cable into the  
computer's network adapter.  
When connecting the Switch to another networking device, attach a UTP Category 5 cable  
to the Uplink port on the back of the switch and connect the other end to any regular avail-  
able port on the back of the network device. Using the Uplink port will automatically dis-  
able port 5, which is directly next to it, since the Uplink port is a shared port. You cannot  
use port 5 and the Uplink port at the same time.  
Ports 1-5 Ports 1-5 are where you will connect your PCs to the Switch. It is through these  
ports that network information is exchanged.  
Uplink  
Power  
You can expand your network by connecting the Switch to another hub, switch,  
or router through the Uplink port. If the Uplink port is being used, port 5—the  
port adjacent to it—will become inactive, reducing the number of the Switchs  
operable ports from five to four.
