Vista 100BASE-T Network Ports with Built-in LEDs The front panel of the Model FE116 hub has sixteen vista 100BASE-T ports. Two LEDs—the Link/Rx LED and the Part (partition) LED—are built into each 100BASE-T port. vista 100BASE-T network port Link/Rx Part LED LED 8494FA Normal/Uplink Push Button The Normal/Uplink push button on the Model FE116 hub allows you to select Normal (MDI-X) or Uplink (MDI) wiring for port 16, eliminating the need to use a crossover cable.
Installation Procedures Prepare the Site Before you begin installing the hub, prepare the installation site. Make sure your operating environment meets the operating environment requirements of the equipment. Characteristic Requirement Temperature Ambient temperature between 0° and 40° C (32° and 104° F). No nearby heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air exhausts, or heaters. Operating humidity 90% maximum relative humidity, noncondensing. Ventilation Minimum 2 inches (5.

Connect the Hub to a Network Cascading refers to connecting hubs together to increase the number of ports or the number of users supported on the network. The 100BASE-T ports can be used to cascade hubs together.

5 Verify the Installation To complete the installation, connect the power adapter first to the power jack on the hub rear panel and then to the power outlet on the wall. When power has been applied to the hub: • The green Pwr (power) LED on the front panel is on. • The green Link/Rx LED on each connected port is on. • The green Link/Rx LED on each connected port is blinking when data is being received by that port. If there are any problems, refer to “Troubleshooting Information.
Symptom Cause Solution Amber Part LED turns on. The connected port is partitioned because of excessive collisions. The 100BASE-T RJ-45 port is partitioned after 32 consecutive collisions are detected. When the first good packet without a collision is received, the port is reconnected and the amber Partition LED turns off. Check and correct causes listed in this table for excessive collisions and make sure that: The correct cable is used and the cable is not faulty. There are no faulty connectors.
LAN workstations. If your network is migrating from 10 to 100 Mbps, you can switch and route data from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps without protocol translation and its associated delays. Fast Ethernet is based on the proven CSMA/CD Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol. The most popular cabling scheme in an Ethernet network today is star-wired topology, where the hub is in a central wiring closet and individual cables run out to each tabletop device.
