Chapter 2 Hub Installation
Before you download the new P110 NMA software, please note that when upgrading from P110 NMA version 8.0 or below to 8.1 or higher, all port configuration parameter settings will be lost. The following parameters will be set back to the factory defaults:
•In the P114T the Port Speed (10/100 Mbps) parameter will be set to 100 Mbps.
•The Port Mode (Half/Full Duplex) parameter, will be set to Half Duplex.
•Redundancy in the P113F will be set to OFF.
•The Auto Sense
•All ports will lose their VLAN assignment and will be reassigned to Generic VLAN.
•The Administration Status of all P110 switches will be Enabled. In order to avoid any possible loops, any port that you disabled using the management software must be physically disconnected before software download. Once you have downloaded the new software, set the port to disabled again and then reconnect the cable.
4.Place the P112T in the stack. The P110 NMA must be in the top switch of the stack.
To ensure proper ventilation, ensure that all empty P110 NMA slots in the stack are closed.
5.Connect P110 switches using P110 Exoplane cables, as shown in Figure 1.
A switch connects to its upper neighbor through two Exoplane cables, and to its lower neighbor through another two Exoplane cables.
Make sure that the P110 Exoplane cables are correctly seated by gently exerting pressure on the back of the connector.
