3. Connecting The Switch This chapter describes how to connect the VH-2402-L3 to your Fast Ethernet network. Switch to End Node End nodes include PCs outfitted with a 10, 100 or 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) and most routers. The RJ-45 UTP ports on NICs and most routers are MDI-II. When using a normal straigh[...]

9033693-01 41 The LED indicators for the port the end node is connected to are lit according to the capabilities of the NIC. If LED indicators are not illuminated after making a proper connection, check the PC’s LAN card, the cable, switch conditions, and connections. The following LED indicator states are possible for an end node to switch conne[...]

If the other device does not have an unused Uplink port, make the connection with a normal straight- through cable from the Uplink port on the switch to any normal crossed port on the hub. Alternatively, if you have a crossover cable you can save the Uplink ports for other connections and make this one from a crossed port to another crossed port. F[...]
