3. Problem 3:
The MDI button is in the wrong setting.
Solution 3:
— When using the cascade port of the switch, you should set the
button to the To HUB position; otherwise, the switch should
be in the To PC position.
— When cascading two switches, the unit using the cascade port
should have the button set to the To HUB position, while the
other unit should have its switch set to To PC.
— When ports with associated MDI buttons are not connected to
other switches but are used to connect to workstations or
other equipment, you should set the MDI button to the To PC
position.
4. Problem 4:
There is data loss between the switch and one of the attached network
nodes.
Solution 4:
— Make sure that the distance between the switch and the
connected network device is no greater than 100 meters.
— Make sure you are using Category 5 cable.
