D-Link DFE-916X manual Identifying External Components, Front Panel, LED Indicator Panel

Identifying External Components

This section identifies all the major external components of the hub. Both the front and rear panels are shown, followed by a description of each panel feature. The indicator panel is described in detail in the next chapter.

Front Panel

♦LED Indicator Panel

Refer to the next chapter, Understanding Indicators, for detailed infor- mation about each of the hub’s LED indicators.

♦Twisted-Pair Ports

Use any of these ports to connect stations to the hub. The ports are MDI-X ports, which means you can use ordinary straight-through twisted-pair cables to connect the hub to PCs, workstations, or servers through these ports. If you need to connect another device with MDI-X ports, such as another hub or an Ethernet switch, you should use a crossover cable, or connect using the Uplink port (described below).
