Monitoring Status LEDs

Steady green Act(ivity) LED indicates connection of the LANMaster T8 to external AC powerr. Blinking green Act(ivity) LED indicate network traffic.

Steady green Link Status LEDs indicate (for each port) the integrity of the network link at the RJ-45 connector. Blinking green Link/Receive LEDs indicate (for each port) reception of valid data.

2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The site for the LANMaster T8 must provide:

•AC power outlet for each LANMaster T8

•Adequate ventilation

•Standard environmental conditions

•Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.

Additionally:

•The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit with power line cables.

•Phone lines should be separated from data cables.

•Flat or “silver satin” cables should not be used.

•RJ-45 connected cables should be configured as crossover or straight through according to installation requirements.

And:

•Since the LANMaster T8 is an Ethernet repeater, the entire installation should comply with the IEEE Ethernet 802.3 specification
