Figure 4-1. Switch connected to an End Node
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 connection:
1.
The 100 LED indicator comes
ON
for a 100 Mbps and stays
OFF
for 10 Mbps.
2.
The Link/Act LED indicator lights up upon hooking up a PC
that is powered on.
Switch to Hub or Switch
These connections can be accomplished in a number of ways. The
most important consideration is that when using a normal,
straight-through cable, the connection should be made between a
normal crossed port (Port 2x, 3x, etc.) and an Uplink (MDI-II)
port. If you are using a crossover cable, the connection must be
made from Uplink to Uplink (port 1x on the DES-3326), or from
a crossed port to another crossed port.
