If you are connecting workstations to the TE100-S55, use a standard UTP cable with a straight RJ-45 pin layout. If you are connecting hubs, bridges or other switches to the TE100-S55, the Transmit (TD) and the Receive (RD) wires must be crossed-over at one end of the connector. Please refer to Appendix C, page 47 for the details of pin layout.

ADDING OPTIONAL MODULES

Although the TE100-S55 is equipped with five ports for 10Base- T or 100Base-TX connections, it also provides an open slot for add-on modules. These modules include an 8-port 10Base-T, a 100Base-FX/TX port or an ISDN router.

To install add-on modules, simply unscrew and remove the slot cover from the front panel of the TE100-S55. Slide-in and screw the add-on module into the open slot of the TE100-S55. Afterwards, attach the appropriate LAN or WAN connections to each module.

Please refer to Appendix D~F (page 49-53)for more details on each add-on module and its installation process.

POWER ON

The TE100-S55 can be used with AC power sources, 90 - 250 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz. The internal power supply will adjust to the local power source automatically.

You may turn ON the power of the TE100-S55 with or without attaching LAN connections to the switch. You should observe the LEDs as the Switch is going through the Power-On Self Test (POST) sequence. All system Status LEDs should go off, and the Power LED should go on, when the POST is successful. The corresponding Link LED will be turned on when a LAN segment is connected to the port and functioning normally.
