Page 4: Product Illustration
Product Illustration Front Panel The front panel of the Model FS516/FS524 switch contains the following LEDs that correspond to each network port located on the hub: Rx/Tx/Collision and 100 Mbps. Each vista RJ-45 network port has its own Link LED (located at the top left corner of each 10/100 Mbps port), and full-duplex (FDX) LED (located at the top right corner of each 10/100 Mbps port). -

Page 8: Prepare The Site
Prepare the Site Before you begin installing your switch, prepare the installation site. Make sure your operating environment meets the operating environment requirements of the equipment. Characteristic Requirement Temperature Ambient temperature between 0 and 40 C (32 and 104 F). No nearby heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, or heaters. -
Page 9: Connect Devices To The Switch
Connect Devices to the Switch Before connecting the switch, be sure you review “Applications” for information about determining the appropriate configuration for your networking needs. To connect the switch: 1. Connect the devices to the 10/100 Mbps ports on the switch, using Category 5 UTP cable and an RJ-45 plug. -
Page 10: Twisted Pair Cables
Twisted Pair Cables For two devices to communicate, the transmitter of each device must be connected to the receiver of the other device. The crossover function is usually implemented internally as part of the circuitry in the device. Most ports on switches and repeaters have media-dependent interfaces with crossover ports. -
