Description
LINK
OFF means that no link is present.
ON means that a link is present on the interface.
ACT
OFF means that no data is being transmitted or received.
ON means that data is being transmitted or received.
Interface Cable
Ethernet cable
The 1GBE and 2GBE modules use the same Ethernet cable as the FE modules. For details, refer to
Ethernet cable.
Making an Ethernet cable
Refer to Making an Ethernet cable.
Connecting the Interface Cable
Follow these steps to connect the interface cable:
Step1
Plug one end of the cable to an Ethernet port of the GBE module on the V100-E and another end to the
desired device. (For a PC or router, use a crossover cable; for a hub or LAN switch, use a
straight-through cable.)
Step2
Power up the V100-E and check state of the corresponding LED on the V100-E. ON means that the
module has succeeded in the power-on self test (POST) and works normally. OFF means that the
module fails the POST. Contact your agent in the latter case.
Step3
Check the state of the LINK LED on the GBE module. ON means a link is present and OFF means no
link is present. Check the connection in the latter case.
