Connecting The Ethernet Lines - Zhone ETHX-2214-DS3 Installation Instructions Manual

Connecting the Ethernet Lines

The 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports can auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode in
accordance with the remote equipment to which it is connected. Alternatively, Ethernet
speed and duplex mode configurations can be configured using web management.
(See Web Interface on page 14.) For the best connection results, the remote devices
(PCs, hubs, or switches) should be set to auto-negotiate speed and duplex mode.
Procedure
1. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the 10/100 ETHERNET ports on the back of
the network extender. A straight-through cable can be used for all applications.
2. Verify the Ethernet connection: After connecting the other end of the Ethernet
cable to a suitable device, a solid green illumination of the corresponding
10/100 ETHERNET Connection LINK/ACT (Link/Activity) LED on the front of the
network extender indicates a connection has been established. If the Ethernet
LINK/ACT LED is illuminated but the Ethernet 100 LED in not lit, then a 10 Mbps
connection has been established. If the Ethernet LINK/ACT and 100 LEDs are
both illuminated, then a 100 Mbps connection has been established.
