4 Cisco 200 Series Smart Switches

Connecting Network Devices

To connect the smart switch to the network:

STEP 1 Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of a computer,

printer, network storage, or other network device.

STEP 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to one of the

numbered smart switch Ethernet ports.

The LED of the port lights if the device connected is active. Refer to

Features of the Cisco 200 Series Smart Switches for details

about the different ports and LEDs on each switch.

STEP 3 Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each device you want to connect to

the smart switch.

NOTE Cisco strongly recommends using Cat5 or better cable for Gigabit

connectivity. When you connect your network devices, do not exceed

the maximum cabling distance of 100 meters (328 feet). It can take up to

one minute for attached devices or the LAN to be operational after it is

connected. This is normal behavior.
