(i.e. CE) are obtained when the N-Tron switch chassis is connected to earth ground via a drain wire. Some N-Tron switches have metal din-rail brackets that can ground the switch if the din-rail is grounded. In some cases, N-Tron switches with metal brackets can be supplied with optional plastic brackets if isolation is required.
Verify that the LNK LED’s are ON once the connection has been completed. For Switch to Switch or Switch to Repeater connections, since the 908TX supports the advanced MDIX function, there is no need to use crossover cables. The 908TX will sense & adapt accordingly.
