Connecting To A Node (Nic); Starting The Network - Black Box 10BASE-T Manual

10BASE-T EXTENDER
3.10.2 C
ONNECTING TO A
The Extender is shipped configured to connect in a manner similar to a network
interface card (NIC) with Link Integrity enabled. To connect the Extender to a
NIC use a crossed 10BASE-T cable. See Figure 3-12.
The Extender is shipped with Link Integrity Test set to ON (enabled). When
the power is connected, the Link Test Indicator should not light, showing that the
link is not yet established. After connecting the 10BASE-T port to a powered up
NIC, the indicator will light green, indicating a "good link."
3.11 Start the Network
The Extenders are now fully installed and ready to transmit data. Power up the
network (if it is not powered up already) and use it. If you encounter any
problems, refer to Chapter 4, Monitoring and Troubleshooting..
