4. After a few seconds, the switch module reboots and the PROC LED
comes on.
5. All other LED activity beyond this point is a function of the
configuration and connection of the ATX.
2.2 CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
To connect the switch module to a Fast Ethernet network, use the
following types of Ethernet cable:
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP for 100BASE-TX)
Fiber (100BASE -FX)
2.2.1 Connecting the 3H02-04 FE Switch Module
You can connect each of the four 100BASE-TX ports of the 3H02-04 to a
100BASE-TX port on a device such as a workstation, server, hub, etc.,
using unshielded twisted pair cable. Each segment on the 3H02-04
provides two connectors. Depending on whether crossover is provided on
the device being connected to, use either crossover or straight-through
UTP cable to connect to a port. Keep in mind, however,
to use only
one
connector on each segment
. For more information on cable
specifications, see Appendix B.
Connect one end of a UTP cable to an open port on the 3H02-04 and the
other end to the RJ45 port on the device (see Figure 2-1).
