Checking Hub Connections
When you have connected your hubs, power them
on. The Port Status LEDs for the ports you have used
should be green for 10BASE-T, or off for 10BASE-2
(Coax). If they are not, check your connections .
If the 10BASE-2 (Coax) port is not used and is not
terminated, the LED should be yellow showing that it
has partitioned. This is correct operation.

S pot Checks

At frequent intervals, visually check that:
The Alert LED is not lit — this is the best way to find
out if there are problems with your network
Case vents are not obstructed
Cabling is secure and not pulled taut
If you suspect there is a problem, refer to Chapter 6 .
