Port Status LED not lit for a 10BASE-T port that has a connection. There is a problem with this connection. Check that you are using a straight-through10BASE-T cable which is properly connected at both ends, and is not damaged. If the cable is connected to port 8, ensure that the Uplink/Normal switch is set to Normal (out). Also check that the equipment being connected to the hub is powered on and operating correctly. Refer to Figure 9 below to compare the wiring of a straight-through and a crossover cable.
