Chapter 2 Setting Up the Switch

Set Up the Switch (No Network)

Step 3

Use the supplied Category 5 Ethernet cable to connect your PC or laptop to any of the downlink switch ports (such as port 1).

Before proceeding to the next step, wait until the port LEDs on the switch and your PC or laptop are green (either solid or blinking).

The green port LEDs means a successful connection between the two devices.

The ADMIN LED should still be blinking green.

Troubleshooting:

If the port LEDs are not solid green or if either port LED turns amber, make sure that:

You connected the Category 5 Ethernet cable to one of the downlink switch ports (not to an uplink port such as the dual-purpose port).

You are using the Category 5 Ethernet cable that shipped with the switch. If not, make sure that the cable that you are using is an undamaged Category 5 Ethernet cable.

The other device is turned on.
