b. To connect the bottom hub to the middle hub in the stack,

connect a second RJ-45 patch cable from port 24 of the middle

hub to port 12 of the bottom hub.

c. Using a pencil or other pointed instrument, set the

medium-dependent interface (MDI) switch on the top and

middle hubs to MDI. Set the MDI switch on the bottom hub to

MDIX.

8. Wait approximately five minutes for the Ethernet link to establish,

then inspect the Product View at the EFC Server. Ensure all switch

icons appear with a green circle as the background, indicating the

switches are defined and communicating with the EFC Manager

application. If a problem is indicated, contact McDATA customer

support.

9. If the EFC Server is connected to a private LAN (no connection to

the customer’s corporate intranet), go to Private LAN Connection

on page D-12. If the EFC Server is connected to a private LAN

and the customer’s corporate intranet (two connections), go to

Private and Public LAN Connection on page D-15.
