4. Power ON the switch by connecting the power cord to the AC power
connector on the back panel of the switch and by connecting the power cord
to an appropriate AC power source.
The PWR LED on the switchs front panel should be ON. If the LED
remains OFF, refer to Verifying and Troubleshooting the Installation on
page 20 for assistance.
Warning
The power cord is used as a disconnection device. To de-energize
equipment, disconnect the power cord. 9
5. Connect the twisted pair cables to the RJ-45 connectors on the switch.
When cabling the ports, observe the following guidelines:
Ports 1X through 7X are configured as MDI-X. When connecting a
device with an MDI port to one of these ports, use straight-through
twisted pair cabling. When connecting a device with an MDI-X port to
one of these switch ports, use a cross-over cable.
You do not need to use a cross-over cable to connect a device to Port 8.
If the end node has an MDI port, connect the device to Port 8MDI-X on
the switch. If the end node has an MDI-X port, connect it to Port 8MDI.
Note
You can use either Port 8MDI or Port 8MDI-X on the AT-FS709FC
Ethernet switch. You cannot use both ports simultaneously.
6. Remove the dust cover from the fiber optic port and connect the fiber optic
cable to the port. When cabling the port, observe the following guidelines:
Make sure that the cable connected to the fiber optic receiver port on
the switch is connected to the transmitter port on the remote end node
and that the fiber optic transmitter port on the switch is connected to
the receiver port on the end node.
The fiber optic port on the network device that you connect to the
AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch must have the same operating
characteristics as the fiber optic port on the switch. For example, the
maximum operating distance and operating wavelength of the end
nodes fiber optic port should be the same as the switchs fiber optic
port. For technical specifications on the fiber optic port on the switch,
refer to Technical Specifications on page 21.
