Note
If you purchased an AT-D8224XL switch, refer to Appendix C for
instructions on connecting the switch to a DC power source.
As power is applied to the switch, the Fault LED (shown in Figure
12) flashes as the switch runs a series of internal self tests. After the
switch has finished running its self tests, the Fault LED will stop
flashing and will remain OFF. Refer to the section ‘Switch LEDs’
on page 41 for information on all of the system and port LEDs.
8. Connect the data cables, making sure each connection has a good
valid link and that the switch is receiving packets. For 10/100Base-TX
ports, use a straight-through cable to connect to workstations and
servers, or use a crossover cable to connect to hubs, routers, or other
switches. See Table 2, Switch Cabling Specifications, on page 33 for
cable specifications.
9. Go to the procedure ‘Setting Up a Terminal for Local Management’
on page 40 to access the Omega management interface on the
switch.
