7. Crossover Connection - Troubleshooting Procedure
Cable identification
To isolate any issues with networking a SlideMate, it is recommended to connect it directly to a PC
(desktop or notebook) with a known good Crossover cable. A reliable way to check the functionality
from the operating system of the PC to the operating system of the SlideMate is by using the Ping
command.
NOTE: Remember always check the status of the Link LED when changing cables to insure that
the correct cable is being used and the SlideMate is connected to the proper equipment for that
cable. No settings on the SlideMate, PC or network are required for the LED to be on. This is a
good indicator if the SlideMate is properly connected to a PC or a Network.
There are two positions the LED could be located at, the bottom right or the top left.

Is the Link LED On?
Confirm that the proper cable is being used if the Link LED is not on.
When the SlideMate is connected to a Network or a Network Switch (Hub) via a network cable a
standard Ethernet cable is needed.
When the SlideMate is connected to a PC directly a Crossover cable is needed.
NOTE: It is recommended that NETGEAR or DLINK brand hubs or switches to be used.
To check if your cable is a standard or crossover, simply look at the two ends of the cable from the
same side of the connector.
If the two ends have the same color pattern left to right it’s a standard network cable.
If the orange and green wires change position it’s a crossover.
See Pin-out tables for comparison.
