This section describes how to connect your HS-NH8100 8-port 10/100M Fast
Ethernet Switch.
4.1 HS-NH8100 to a Networkable PC
Using a CAT5 UTP straight-through cable, connect any of the eight MDI-X ports
(1x - 8x) on the HS-NH8100 to the RJ-45 10/100Mbps jack on the networkable
PC.
The LED indicators for the PC connection are dependent on the LAN card capa-
bilities. If LED indicators do not light after making the proper connection, check
the PC LAN card, the cable and all of the HS-NH8100 connections.
These are possible LED indications for a PC to HS-NH8100 connection:

The “100LINK/ACT, 10LINK/ACT” LED indicator displays green for
hookup to 100Mbps speed or amber for hookup to 10Mbps speed.
•
The “Full-Duplex/Collision” LED indicator is dependent upon the LAN card
capability for full duplex or half duplex. Green indicates duplex, flashing
green indicates collision
