Connecting The Switch
The LED indicators for PC connection are dependent on the LAN card
capabilities. If LED indicators are not illuminated after making a proper
connection, check the PC’s LAN card, the cable, Switch conditions and
connections.
The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC to Switch
connection:
1.
The 100 M LED indicator comes on for a 100 Mbps and stays off for
10 Mbps.
2.
The Link/Act LED indicator illuminates upon hookup.
3.
The FDX LED indicator depends upon LAN card capabilities,
illuminating for full duplex operation and remaining dark otherwise.
Switch to Hub (with Uplink)
A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair
Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable. The connection is accomplished
from the hub’s Uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the Switch’s (MDI-X) ports.
