That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection. Note: Auto Uplink will compensate for setting uplink connections, and crossover or straight-through cables. Using Auto Uplink to create multiple paths between any two network devices will disable your network. 9608FA Make sure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. Either 10M, 100M, or 1000M Link LED is off Port connection is not functioning. Check the crimp on the RJ-45 connectors, and make sure that the plug is properly inserted and locked into the port at both the switch and the connecting device. Make sure all cables used are correct and comply with Ethernet specifications. One or more components are malfunctioning. A segment or device is not recognized as part of the network. Not all system Test the components in an components are alternate environment where all properly installed. other components are functioning properly. One or more devices are not properly connected or cabling does not meet Ethernet guidelines. Verify that the cabling is correct. Be sure all cable connectors are securely positioned in the required ports. Straight-through cables should be used for all standard twisted pair connections. Make sure all devices are connected to the network. Equipment may have been accidentally disconnected. 1 Preparing the Site Before you begin installing your switch, prepare the installation site.
