3 | Connecting the Cables | |||
| To connect network devices to the Ethernet switch, follow these instructions: | |||
| 1. | For 10/100Mbps devices, connect a Category 5 Ethernet network cable to one of the | ||
|
| numbered ports on the Ethernet switch. For a 1000Mbps device, connect a Category 5e | ||
|
| Ethernet network cable to one of the uplink ports on the Ethernet switch. | ||
| 2. | Connect the other end to a PC or other network device. | ||
| 3. | Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices. | ||
| 4. | If you are using the | ||
|
| port. For detailed instructions, refer to the documentation supplied with the | ||
|
| module. | ||
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| CAUTION: Observe the orientation of |
|
|
|
| the |
|
|
|
| into a |
|
|
|
| GBIC ports are upside down in relation |
|
|
|
| to the top |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. | If you use the console interface to configure the Ethernet switch, then connect the | ||
|
| supplied serial cable to the console port (located on the back of the Ethernet switch), and | ||
|
| tighten the captive retaining screws. Connect the other end to your PC’s serial port. (The | ||
|
| PC must be running VT100 terminal emulation software, such as HyperTerminal.) | ||
| 6. | Connect the supplied power cord to the power port, and plug the other end into an | ||
|
| electrical outlet. | ||
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| CAUTION: Make sure you use the |
|
|
|
| power cord that is supplied with the |
|
|
|
| Ethernet switch. Use of a different |
|
|
|
| power cord could damage the Ethernet |
|
|
|
| switch. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 7. | Power on the network devices connected to the Ethernet switch. Each active port’s | ||
|
| corresponding Act/Link LED will light up on the Ethernet switch. If a port has an active | ||
|
| Gigabit connection, then its corresponding Gigabit LED will also light up. | ||
NOTE: If connecting an Ethernet switch to an SVR3000 router, connect it to a Cascade port on the SVR3000.
