Connecting the Switch
• PC to MES-6P-F
Connect the switch to a computer using a cable supplied by or purchased from Furuno
with a Furuno connector on one end and a RJ-45 connector on the opposite end.
Suggested Furuno cables: 000-144-601, 0.5 Meters
• MES-6P-F to NavNet or Other Ethernet Devices
The MES-6P-F can be connected to the NavNet using the cables provided or purchased.
Suggested Furuno cables: 000-154-027, 1 Meter
000-154-049, 5 Meters
000-154-050, 10 Meters
The MES-6P-F can also be connected to other Ethernet devices using Furuno
cable/connectors and the appropriate RJ-45 adapter. The connection can be from
any port on the MES-6P-F to any of the MDI-X, 10Mbps or 100Mbps ports on another
switch or other device.
Port Speed and Duplex Mode
After plugging in the selected cable to a specific port, the MES-6P-F uses auto-negotiation
to determine the transmission mode, auto-detecting the network speed, 10Mbps or
100Mbps. If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation
disabled, an auto-sensing process is initiated to select the speed and half-duplex is
selected.
Precautions
• Switch to be installed 6’ from sources of electromagnetic noise (generators, etc.)
