The LED indicators for the port the end node is
connected to are lit according to the capabilities of the
NIC. If LED indicators are not illuminated after making
a proper connection, check the PC's LAN card, the
cable, switch conditions, and connections.
The following LED indicator states are possible for an
end node to switch connection:
1. The 100M LED indicator comes ON for a 100 Mbps and
stays OFF for 10 Mbps.
2. The Link/Act LED indicator lights up upon hooking up a
PC that is powered on.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number
of ways. The most important consideration is that when
using a normal, straight-through cable, the connection
should be made between a normal crossed port (Port
2x, 3x, etc.) and an Uplink (MDI-II) port. If you are
using a crossover cable, the connection must be made
from Uplink to Uplink (port 1x on the VH-2402-L3), or
from a crossed port to another crossed port.
A 10BASE-T hub or switch can be connected to
the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4 or 5
UTP/STP straight cable.
A 100BASE-TX hub or switch can be connected
to the Switch via a two-pair Category 5
UTP/STP straight cable.
If the other switch or hub contains an unused Uplink
port, we suggest connecting the other device's Uplink
(MDI-II) port to any of the switch's (MDI-X) ports (1x -
22x, or one of the 100BASE-TX module ports) using a
normal straight-through cable, as shown below.
