Checking Unit Connections

When you have connected all your units, power on the
units and the Switch. The Port Status LEDs for the ports you
have used on both the units and the Switch should be on. If
they are not, check your connections and the settings of the
Uplink/Normal switches.

Spot Checks

At frequent intervals, visually check that:
The Alert LED is off — 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.
