Fusion Installation Procedures
• Crossover Ethernet cable with male connectors required.
Connecting the PC to the Fusion Main Hub to Run AdminBrowser
1. Connect the AC power cord to the Hub.
Make sure the Hub is grounded through the ground lug on the AC power and
the frame ground lug as required. The warranty does not cover damage
caused when an ungrounded Hub is powered on.
2. Plug the power cord into an AC power outlet.
3. Verify that all cables are properly connected on the Hub.
4. Turn on the power to the Hub.
All LEDs blink through the power up sequence. At each port where an RAU is
detected (drawing current), the port LEDs lights green. The Fusion
STATUS LED
is orange during system boot and should turn green after about 90 seconds if it
finds no faults. This state indicates the band’s are not programmed and provides
feedback on the status of the RAU connections.
The LEDs blink for 20 seconds as a visual check that they are functioning.
5. Connect the cross-over Ethernet cable to the PC/laptop and then to the RJ-45
100-BASE-T
port on the Hub’s front panel.
