2.If the port functions correctly, make sure the router is attached to an Uplink Port on the hub or switch. If there is an Uplink button on the hub or switch, make sure it is in the Uplink posi- tion.

3.If there is no uplink port on the hub or switch, then you will need to purchase a crossover cable from your electronics dealer.

Note: Most workstation cables purchased from computer or elec- tronic stores will be wired to T568A or T568B specifications.

Other hints about cabling

The following are other ways to avoid problems with cabling:

1.Try to avoid running cables near or across power cables.

2.Staples should not be used to secure Ethernet cables. Clips or hangers used for telephone wires are available at most hard- ware stores.

3.Avoid devices that create “noise”, such as florescent light fix- tures, printers, copy machines, electric heaters, speakers, TV sets, microwave ovens, telephones, electric fans, and washing machines.

4.If you bundle a group of cables together with cable ties (zip ties), do not tighten them so tightly that you deform the cables.

5.Avoid stretching Ethernet cables. This can cause them to be- come defective.

6.NEVER run Ethernet cable outside of a building. This can pro- duce a very dangerous lightning hazard.
