3.1.2 Connect the computers or a LAN

If your LAN has no more than 4 computers, you can use Ethernet cable to
connect computers directly to the built-in switch on the device. Note that you
should attach one end of the Ethernet cable to any of the port labeled LAN1 -

LAN4 on the rear panel of the device and connect the other end to the Ethernet
port of a computer.

If you LAN has more than 4 computers, you can attach one end of a Ethernet
cable to a hub or a switch (probably an uplink port; please refer to the hub or
switch documentations for instructions) and the other to the Ethernet switch
port (labeled LAN1 - LAN4) on the SL6000/SL6300.

Note that both the crossover or straight-through Ethernet cable can be used to
connect the built-in switch and computers, hubs or switches as the built-in
switch is smart enough to make connections with either type of cables.

3.1.3 Attach the power adapter

Connect the AC power adapter to the POWER connector on the back of the
device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or a power strip.

3.1.4 Turn on the SL6000/SL6300 and your computers

Press the Power switch on the rear panel of SL6000/SL6300 to the ON position.
Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN devices such as hubs or
switches. You should verify that its LEDs are illuminated as shown in Table 3.1

Table 3.1 LED Indicators

This LED:

...should be:

is not on, check if the power adapter is attached to SL6000/
SL6300 and if it is plugged into a power source.

Solid green to indicate that the device can communicate with
your LAN or flashing when the device is sending or receiving
data from your LAN computer(s).
