Use only standard TP cables of category CAT 5 or better with a maxi-
mum length of 100 m to ensure the best possible transfer of data.
Cross-over cables can be used thanks to the auto-sensing function.
If optical connections are to be used, additional modules can be
purchased as accessories.
Configuration via serial ports – In order to configure the LANCOM
Switch directly, connect the serial configuration cable (supplied) to the
COM port of the device. Connect the other end of this cable to an avai-
lable COM port (RS 232) on a PC. Instructions on carrying out a configu-
ration via the serial interface and on enterning relevant parameters via a
terminal program are available under
Interface via serial connection' in the following chapter.
Supply power and switch on – Supply power to the device by means of
the IEC power cable.
Ready for operation? – After a brief self-test, the power LED lights up
continuously. Green LAN-LINK LEDs show which LAN connectors are
being used for a connection.
You may skip this section if you use your LANCOM Switch exclusively
with computers running operating systems other than Windows.
If the setup does not start automatically, run AUTORUN.EXE in the
root directory of the LANCOM CD.
