DES-1008D
This chapter describes how to connect the DES-1008D to your Fast
Ethernet network. In each of the following figures, the DES-1008D is
shown.
PC to DES-1008D
A PC can be connected to DES-1008D via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5
UTP/STP straight cable. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps
phone jack) can be connected to any of the 8 ports (1x - 8x).
The LED indicators for PC connection depend on the LAN card’s
capabilities. If LED indicators are not lit after making a proper
connection, check the PC LAN card, the cable and the DES-1008D
conditions and connections.
The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC to DES-1008D
connection:
1. The “100LINK/ACT,10LINK/ACT” LED indicator lights
green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or light amber for
hookup to 10Mbps speed.
2. The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator depends upon
LAN card capabilities for full duplex or half duplex.
Hub to DES-1008D
A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the DES-1008D via
a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cables. The connection
is accomplished from the hub uplink (MDI-II) port to any of the DES-
1008D (MDI-X) ports: 1x - 8x for the DES-1008D.
