D-Link DES-810 User Manual - Uplink Port

10

Overview

Note:

Full-duplex mode can only be used for

connections to other switches or to network

stations.  Connections to hubs must use half-

duplex mode only.

Uplink Port

The uplink port is used for higher-tier connections to more advanced

switches or other network devices.  Please note that if you are using the

uplink port, you will be unable to use port one as these two ports are

logically linked.

Note: A crossover cable must be used when connecting

from the uplink of another switch or a hub to the

uplink port on the 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch.

LED Indicators

The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch has extensive LED indicators to facilitate

monitoring and troubleshooting. They include a Power LED and Status LEDs

for all ports. The Status LEDs have indicators that report on Link, Duplex,

Activity, Collision and 100Mbps states.
