Attaching Devices to the BayStack 410-24T Switch

This section describes how to attach devices to the BayStack 410-24T switch ports and how to connect a console terminal to the switch Console/Comm port. You can use the console terminal to observe the power on self-test results and set up the switch, if required, as described later in this chapter.

The BayStack 410-24T switch has an Uplink/Expansion slot that allows you to attach optional media dependent adapters (MDAs). The MDAs support a range of media types (see Appendix B, “Media Dependent Adapters,” for more information about MDA types available from Nortel Networks). Refer to the documentation that came with your specific MDA for information about its cabling and LED indications.

BayStack 410-24T switches provide Fail-Safe stackability when you install the optional BayStack 400-ST1 Cascade Module to your switches. Installation instructions are provided with the Cascade Module.

Depending on your network configuration requirements, connect the RJ-45 port cables, the console port, and any optional MDA port cables as described in the following sections. After attaching the devices to the BayStack 410-24T switch, proceed to “Connecting Power” on page 2-12 to connect the AC power cord and power up the switch.

You can connect the BayStack 410-24T switch to any equipment that conforms to the IEEE 802.3 standard, such as the following devices:

•Ethernet networking devices

•Individual workstations or servers

•Other switches, bridges, or hubs
