Connecting to the Network

NOTE

It takes approximately one minute for the 2H22-08R to boot up.

2.Observe the LANVIEW LEDs. After a successful boot, the CPU LED turns on (green). If the PWR LED is not green after one minute and turns amber, there is no power redundancy. Check the power cord connections and the power source. If there are no problems with the power cord connections or power source and the PWR LED is still not green, contact the Cabletron Systems Global Call Center. Refer to Section 1.7 for details.

3.6CONNECTING TO THE NETWORK

This section provides the procedures for connecting twisted pair and fiber optic segments from the network or other devices to the 2H22-08R.

NOTE

If the 2H22-08R is being installed in a network using SmartTrunking, there are rules concerning the network cable and port configurations that must be followed for SmartTrunking to operate properly. Before connecting the cables, refer to the Cabletron Systems SmartTrunk User’s Guide for configuration information.

Ports 1 through 6 on the 2H22-08R have RJ45 connectors for twisted pair connections. Ports 7 and 8 support FE-100TX, FE-100FX, or FE-100F3 Fast Ethernet Interface Modules. The FE-100TX has an RJ45 connector for a twisted pair cable connection. The FE-100FX and FE-100F3 have SC connectors for fiber optic cable connections.

NOTE

Refer to the Cabletron Systems Cabling Guide to make a twisted pair connection to an FE-100TX, or a fiber optic cable connection to an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 for port slot 7 or 8.
