D-Link DES-3624 - Switch - Stackable User manual - 10Base-T Device

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 

♦  A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to the 

Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP 

straight cable.  

♦  A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected to the 

Switch via a four-pair Category 5 UTP/STP straight cable.   

If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink port, we 

suggest connecting the other device’s Uplink (MDI-II) port to 

any of the switch’s (MDI-X) ports (1x - 22x, or one of the 

100BASE-TX module ports) using a normal straight-through 

cable, as shown below. 

If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make 

the connection with a normal straight-through cable from one 

of the Uplink ports on the switch to any normal crossed port 

on the hub. Alternatively, if you have a crossover cable you can 

save the Uplink ports for other connections and make this one 

from a crossed port to another crossed port.

or switch using a straight or crossover cable

display the following:
