Full-Duplex/Collision (Full-Duplex/Collision) This LED indicator light green when a respective port is in full duplex (FDX) mode. Otherwise, it is blinking when collisions are occurring on the respective port. Link/Activity (100M=green, 10M=amber) This indicator light green when the port is connected to a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet station, if the indicator blinking green will be transmit or received data on the 100Mbps network.
ONNECTING This chapter describes how to connect the Switch to your Fast Ethernet network. LevelOne 5/8 Port 10/100Mbps PalmCon Switch is shown. PC to Switch A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cables. The PC (equipped with a RJ-45 10/100Mbps phone jack) should be connected to any of the 5/8 ports.
Hub to Switch A hub (10 or 100BASE-TX) can be connected to the Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP cable. connection is accomplished from the hub to any of the Switch RJ-45 ports. A. 10BASE-T Hub For a 10BASE-T hub, the Switch LED indicators should light up as the following: “Full-Duplex/Collision”...
