Connecting to the Core Network
The optional 10GB ports on the DWS-3026 are ideal for uplinking to the core network.
Connections to the Gigabit Ethernet ports are made using a fiber-optic cable or Category 5e
copper cable, depending on the type of port. A valid connection is indicated when the Link
LED is lit.
Figure 30 shows the rear panel of the DWS-3026 with the optional DEM-410X module.
