Nortel Networks 60-12T, 60-24T Applying Power to the Hub, Connecting the Hub Through the MDI Port

Installation

Connecting the Hub Through the MDI Port

You can connect BayStack 60-12T/60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hubs to other compatible hubs or switches through port 1 on the front panel of the hub, setting the MDI/MDI-X button to uplink.

To connect to another device through the MDI port:

1.Insert an RJ-45 connector of a straight-through twisted pair Ethernet cable into port 1 of your hub.

You can configure port 1 to uplink or normal mode using the MDI/MDI-X button.

2.Set the MDI/MDI-X button next to port 1 to MDI, or uplink.

3.Insert the other RJ-45 connector in to any MDI-X port on another device.

You can also connect this RJ-45 connector to a MDI port on another device set up as a daisy-chain configuration.

Applying Power to the Hub

To apply power to your hubs:

1.Plug the power cord into the power socket in the rear of the hub.

2.Plug the other end of the power cord into a standard power outlet.

The hub will automatically select the setting that matches the connected input voltage. No additional adjustments are necessary when you connect the hub to any input voltage, as long as the voltage range is within the range marked on the rear panel.

3.Check the Power LED on the front panel.

The Power LED should be on. The hub will perform a self-diagnostic test during the power on process.

Note: The hub supports a “hot remove” feature which permits you to connect or disconnect cables without powering off the hub. Operation of devices attached to the hub is not disrupted.
