The LED indicators for the PC connection depend on the LAN card capabilities. If LED indicators are not lit after making a proper connection, check the PC LAN card, the cable, the Switch conditions, and connections.

Connecting a Hub or Switch to the Switch

You can connect the Switch to another switch or other devices (i.e., routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable.

The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC or other devices to Switch connection:

1.The LINK/ACT LED indicator lights green when connected at 100 Mbps or lights amber when connected at 10 Mbps.

2.The COL LED indicator lights green when a collision happens.

3.The FDX LED indicator lights green when operating at full duplex. This LED is off when it the switch is operating at half duplex.

Port Speed & Duplex Mode

After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new twisted-pair connection:

If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to half- duplex.
