Connect to an End Node
End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps
RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and
Ethernet ready routers. Use standard Ethernet cable to connect the
Switch to end nodes. Switch ports will automatically adjust to the
hardware characteristics (MDI/MDIX, speed, duplex) of the device
to which it is connected.
