5. Verify that the PWR LED is green. If the LED is OFF, refer to
Troubleshooting on page 23.
6. Connect the twisted pair data cables to the RJ-45 ports on the switch,
as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7 Connecting the Twisted Pair Data Cables
When connecting a twisted pair cable to a port, observe the
following guidelines:
‰ An RJ-45 connector should fit snugly into the port on the switch.
The tab on the connector should lock the connector into place.
‰ The ports on the switch are auto-MDI/MDI-X when operating at 10
or 100 Mbps. You can use either a straight-through or crossover
twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device to a port
on the switch when operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps.
‰ For ports operating at 1000 Mbps, use a straight-through cable.
‰ The network should not contain data loops, which can adversely
affect network performance. A data loop exists when two or more
network devices can communicate with each other over more
than one data path.
7. Power on the end-nodes.
8. Depending on your configuration, check that the 10 or 100 LED for
each port connected is green. ( If both LEDs are green, the unit is
opearing at 1000 Mbps.) If the LEDs are OFF, refer to
Troubleshooting on page 23.
The switch is ready for network operations.
