4.After a few seconds, the switch module reboots and the PROC LED comes on.

5.All other LED activity beyond this point is a function of the configuration and connection of the ATX.

2.2 CONNECTING TO A NETWORK

To connect the switch module to a Fast Ethernet network, use the following types of Ethernet cable:

•Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP for 100BASE-TX)

•Fiber (100BASE -FX)

2.2.1 Connecting the 3H02-04 FE Switch Module

You can connect each of the four 100BASE-TX ports of the 3H02-04 to a 100BASE-TX port on a device such as a workstation, server, hub, etc., using unshielded twisted pair cable. Each segment on the 3H02-04 provides two connectors. Depending on whether crossover is provided on the device being connected to, use either crossover or straight-through UTP cable to connect to a port. Keep in mind, however, to use only one connector on each segment. For more information on cable specifications, see Appendix B.

Connect one end of a UTP cable to an open port on the 3H02-04 and the other end to the RJ45 port on the device (see Figure 2-1).
