Connectivity Testing

In the following procedure, you will test each port for a valid connection and to
confirm the correct operation of the network.
1. Start with Ports 1 and 2. Connect these two ports of a single switch to two
nodes or workstations and turn on the switch power.
2. Wait approximately 1-3 seconds for the auto-negotiation process to
complete after power-on or after the cables are reconnected.
3. Make sure the Link/Activity and other LEDs of both switch ports are lit.
4. After confirming that Port 1 and Port 2 are operational, reconnect one of
the nodes/workstations to another port, then repeat this connectivitiy
test with the switch's remaining ports. Continue to verify the connection
in each port by checking the Link/Activity and other activity LEDs.
Use Port 16/24 with the push button set for MDI
workstation, or MDI to connect to a hub or switch.
