Installation
❑
Since the ports on the switch are auto MDI/MDI-X, you can use either
a straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable to connect any type
of network device to a port on the switch. Refer to "Auto MDI/MDI-X"
on page 6 for additional information.
❑
If you are creating a port trunk, do not connect the cable of the trunk
to the switch until you have configured the trunk using the
management software. Connecting the trunk cables to the switch
before you have configured the software will result in a data loop,
which can adversely affect network performance. For instructions on
how to configure a port trunk, refer to the AT-S67 and AT-S68
Software Management User's Guide.
7. Power ON the end-nodes connected to the switch.
8. Check that the LINK/ACT LED for each port on the switch is green. If a
LED is OFF, refer to "Troubleshooting" on page 21.
The switch is now ready for use. Refer to the AT-S67 and AT-S68 Software
Management User's Guide to manage and configure your unit. This guide is
available at www.alliedtelesyn.com.
