D-Link DES-810 Switch User Manual


 
10 Overview
Note: Full-duplex mode can only be used for
connections to other switches or to network
stations. Connections to hubs must use half-
duplex mode only.
Uplink Port
The uplink port is used for higher-tier connections to more advanced
switches or other network devices. Please note that if you are using the
uplink port, you will be unable to use port one as these two ports are
logically linked.
Note:
A crossover cable must be used when connecting
from the uplink of another switch or a hub to the
uplink port on the 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch.
LED Indicators
The 10/100 Fast Ethernet Switch has extensive LED indicators to facilitate
monitoring and troubleshooting. They include a Power LED and Status LEDs
for all ports. The Status LEDs have indicators that report on Link, Duplex,
Activity, Collision and 100Mbps states.
