Introducing the Broadband
Networking 5-Port Switch
Congratulations on your purchase of the Microsoft®Broadband
Networking 5-Port Switch. The switch can be used in a number of
different ways. It will let you expand your existing Ethernet network
by connecting additional computers, printers, scanners, and other
Ethernet devices. The switch will also let you form a new local area
network (LAN) by connecting two or more computers. A typical
network configuration that includes a switch is illustrated in the
following example:
Note
Each computer that connects
to your switch requires an
Ethernet adapter or available
Ethernet port.

Light Port indicator lights, which correspond
to the five Ethernet ports on the back
of the switch
The 5-port switch will work with any 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet-
based network. Although this guide focuses on Windows-based
computers, you can use the switch with nearly any operating
system. For more information about setting up non-Windows-based
networks, see the documentation for your operating system.
Do You Have Everything You Need to Install
Your Switch?
Included in the Box:
3.8-Volt
Power Adapter
5-Port Switch
(MN-150)
Also Required (but not included in the box):
OOne Ethernet cable for each computer or network device to
be attached
OOne Ethernet adapter or an available internal Ethernet port on
each computer or device you are connecting to the switch
Your Switch and Its Connections
The following diagrams show front and back views of the switch,
and the location of all ports and indicator lights. The labels of each
port and indicator light are arranged along the top of the switch
casing for easy reading.
User’s Guide
The switch’s front panel contains one power light and 15 additional
status-indicator lights that help you monitor and troubleshoot
network connectivity and activity. Each vertical line of three lights

Note
Full-duplex mode allows your
network to transmit and
receive data simultaneously.
Half-duplex communication
is one-way.
Light Condition Status
Power On The switch is receiving power.
Speed On The port is transmitting or receiving packets
at 100 megabits per second (Mbps).
Off The port is transmitting or receiving packets
at 10 Mbps.
Link/Activity On The port has established a connection
with a network device.
Off The port has not established a connection
with a network device.
Blinking The port is transmitting or receiving data.
Full-Duplex On The port is operating in full-duplex mode,
allowing all devices to transmit and
receive data.
Off The port is running in half-duplex mode,
allowing one device to transmit at a time.

corresponds to one of the five ports on the back of the switch. The
lights for each port will be on, off, or blinking, depending on the
current network configuration and activity for that port. The Power
light is to the left of the port indicator lights. The following table
describes the meaning of each light.
Note
Because the switch
automatically detects your
Ethernet cable type, all ports
will work as ‘Uplink’ ports.

About Ethernet Connections
Ethernet is the most commonly used wired network protocol, with
connection speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or higher. Your switch
will transmit data at either 10 or 100 Mbps. The switch’s auto-
negotiation feature automatically determines the rate of your
network connections and uses the fastest speed available.
As you set up your network, keep in mind that power outlets,
fluorescent lights, power supplies, and coiled up or extra-long
cables can interfere with Ethernet transmission and also
produce interference.
Use Ethernet cables to connect your adapter to devices on your
network. Any Ethernet-compatible network device will have one or
more high-powered Ethernet ports. Some examples of network
devices are:
ORouters, gateways, or base stations, such as the Microsoft
Broadband Networking Wired Base Station
OBroadband modems
OComputers with Ethernet adapters
OEthernet switches and hubs
Network components such as your 5-port switch are connected to
one another by Ethernet cables. An Ethernet cable resembles a
phone cord, but has larger connectors at each end. To determine
whether a cable is an Ethernet or phone cable, you can count the
number of wires or contacts visible in the connector at either end
of the cable. Ethernet (RJ-45) connectors and cables contain eight
wires, and phone (RJ-11) cables contain either four or six wires.
Chapter 1: Introduction 5
Straight-Through and Crossover Cables
Data is sent and received through specific wires within an Ethernet
cable. Depending on the arrangement of its sending and receiving
wires, an Ethernet cable is either a “straight-through” type or a
“crossover” type. The following diagram demonstrates how to
differentiate between the two types.
Your 5-port switch supports both straight-through and crossover
cables. The switch automatically detects the type of Ethernet cable
you are using and functions accordingly.
Connecting to Broadband Modems
When you connect your switch to a broadband modem, it is
important to use either the cable that came with your modem or the
same type of cable. Many modems use a crossover cable to connect
to the network. If you are unsure about the type of Ethernet cable to
use, see the documentation for your broadband modem.
Straight-Through
Ethernet Cable
In a straight-
through cable,
the order of the
colored wires is the
same at both ends.
Crossover
Ethernet Cable
In a crossover
cable, the order of
the colored wires
is different at
both ends.
