3. The switch performs a self-diagnostic test upon power-on. (Note that this test
takes about 20 seconds to complete.)
Note: The unit supports a "hot remove" feature which permits you to connect/
disconnect cables without powering off the switch and without disrupting the
operation of the devices attached to the switch.
Verifying Port Status
Check each connection by viewing the port status indicators shown in the following table.

Verifying System Operation
Verify that all attached devices have a valid connection. The switch monitors the
link status for each port. If any device is properly connected to the switch and
transmitting a link beat signal, the Link indicator will light up for the corresponding
port. If the Link indicator fails to light when you connect a device to the switch,
check the following items:
Both sides of each connection must use the same transmission mode (i.e., half
or full duplex). The switch can use auto-negotiation to set both speed and
mode. However, full duplex can only be supported if the attached device also
uses auto-negotiation.
Be sure all network cables and connectors are properly attached to the
connected device and the switch.
See if your cable is functioning properly by using it for another port and
attached device that displays valid indications when connected to the network.
Be sure no twisted-pair cable exceeds 100 meters (328 feet).
Applications
This switch segments your network, significantly increasing both bandwidth and
throughput. Any port on the switch can be attached to a hub (i.e., shared collision
domain) or provide a dedicated link to a single network device (e.g., a
workstation). When a port on the switch is connected to an Ethernet hub (i.e., a
10 or 100 Mbps repeater), the bandwidth provided by that port is shared by all
the devices connected to the attached hub. However, when a port is connected
to an end node or to a device that breaks up the collision domain (e.g., another
switch, bridge or router), the attached device has access to the full bandwidth
provided by that port.
