AT-FS709FC Series Installation Guide

4.Power ON the switch by connecting the power cord to the AC power connector on the back panel of the switch and by connecting the power cord to an appropriate AC power source.

The PWR LED on the switch’s front panel should be ON. If the LED remains OFF, refer to “Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation” on page 20 for assistance.

Warning

The power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize

equipment, disconnect the power cord. 9

5. Connect the twisted pair cables to the RJ￿-45 connectors on the switch. When cabling the ports, observe the following guidelines:

Ports 1X through 7X are configured as MDI-X. When connecting a device with an MDI port to one of these ports, use straight-through twisted pair cabling. When connecting a device with an MDI-X port to

Gone of these switch ports, use a cross-over cable.

You do not need to use a cross-over cable to connect a device to Port 8. If the end node has an MDI port, connect the device to Port 8MDI-X on the switch. If the end node has an MDI-X port, connect it to Port 8MDI.

Note

You can use either Port 8MDI or Port 8MDI-X on the AT-FS709FC Ethernet switch. You cannot use both ports simultaneously.

6. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber optic cable to the port. When cabling the port, observe the following guidelines:

Make sure that the cable connected to the fiber optic receiver port on the switch is connected to the transmitter port on the remote end node and that the fiber optic transmitter port on the switch is connected to

Gthe receiver port on the end node.

The fiber optic port on the network device that you connect to the AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch must have the same operating characteristics as the fiber optic port on the switch. For example, the maximum operating distance and operating wavelength of the end node’s fiber optic port should be the same as the switch’s fiber optic port. For technical specifications on the fiber optic port on the switch, refer to “Technical Specifications” on page 21.
