The Crossover Switch

When“uplinking,” or connecting two pieces of network hardware together, such as a hub and a switch, a general rule of thumb is to plug one end of a network cable into a straight-through port, and the other end into a crossover port. Standard ports are straight-through ports, and uplink ports are crossover ports.

The LAN Indicators

Power

Green. The Power LED lights up green when the Router is

 

powered on.

Link/Act

Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED

EtherFast® Cable/DSL Routers

is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a device through the LAN port. If the LED is flickering, the Router is actively sending or receiving data through the LAN port.

Full/Col Green. The Full/Col LED also serves two purposes. If this LED remains lit, a LAN port connection is being successful- ly maintained. If the LED flickers, the connection is experi- encing collisions. Infrequent collisions are normal.

If this LED flickers too often, there may be a problem with your connection. See the Troubleshooting section if you encounter this problem.

10/100 Orange. The 10/100 LED lights up when a successful 100Mbps connection is made through the corresponding port.

If a connection is running at 10Mbps, the 10/100 LED will not light up.

The WAN Indicators

Link

Green. The Link LED lights up when a successful connec-

 

tion is made between the Router and your broadband device

 

or network.

Act

Green. The Act LED flickers when the Router is sending or

 

receiving data over the broadband WAN port.

Diag

Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through

 

its self-diagnostic mode. It will turn off upon successful

 

completion of the diagnosis.

 

If this LED stays on for an abnormally long period of time,

 

see the Troubleshooting section.
