Link / Activity LED
The LINK/ACT LED uses a single LED to display two functions. A steady
green light indicates that a good link has been established, and a flashing green
light indicates when data is being received or transmitted. If the LED does not
display solid green indicating a good link, check the following:
1.
Make sure that the power is turned on for both the Fast EtheRx
Switch and the attached device.
2.
Verify that the drivers for the network adapter have been loaded on
the PC. Some network adapters require that the driver be loaded
before establishing a proper link.
3.
Make sure the cable is wired properly and connected on both ends.
4.
Make sure the correct cable type has been selected.
5.
If steps 1 through 4 are correct, please check the cable, as it may be
defective or wired incorrectly. Replace the cable and try again.
Please refer to Appendix A for Pin Assignments and Appendix B for
Cabling Guidelines.
Full Duplex and Collision LED
The FDX/COLL LED uses a single color LED to display two functions. A
solid green light indicates that Full-Duplex operation has been detected. A
flashing amber light indicates that a collision has occurred in half-duplex mode.
Full-Duplex mode is auto-negotiated on all UTP ports.
Cascade Switch
The cascade position marked “ ” configures the last UTP port (port 5 on the
KNS500/WG or port 8 on the KNS800/WG) as internally-crossed like all other
UTP ports. By default, all repeater and switched UTP ports are generally
configured as standard MDI-X, or internally-crossed ports. With a straight-
through cable, this port can be used for cascading to a standard MDI device,
such as a network adapter or router. With a crossover cable, this port can be
used for cascading to another MDI-X device, such as a hub or switch.
