D-Link DFE-2600 manual Because the DFE-260TX module port is an, Making Connections

The Fast Ethernet module uses a MDI-X connector (not a straight MDI) and, therefore, a crossover cable must be used when connecting the module to another module (and under most other circumstances). See Appendix A for pinout information.

The Fast Ethernet module includes the following LED indicators:

∙Power/Tx his LED is lit when the hub is on and blinks when packets are being transmitted by the module.

∙Link/Rx his LED is lit when the port is properly connected to a pow- ered-on device and blinks when packets are being received by the module.

∙Collision his LED blinks when there are packet collisions on the mod- ule line.

∙FDX his LED is lit when the port is set for Full Duplex transmit and receive. When the LED is off, the port is in Half Duplex mode.

NOTE:	Because the DFE-260TX module port is an
	NWay UTP port, once the hub is powered on,
	it will automatically detect the duplex and
	speed modes of any device connected to it.
	The DIP switch may then be set to force the
	duplex mode into a particular state. After the
	DIP switch is set, the DFE-260TX will only op-
