BLACK BOX

Series Convenient Switches Installation and User Guide

1. Using standard twisted pair media, insert either end of the cable with a RJ-45 plug

into the RJ-45 connector of the port. Note that, even though the connector is shielded,

either unshielded or shielded cables and wiring may be used.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device.

3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be

illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established. If this

does not help, ensure that the cable is connected properly and that the device on the

other end is powered and is not defective.

4. For Port # 1 or 1SW, if the LINK LED is not illuminated, move the switch which

has a cross-over or up-link for linking to another hub or Switch.

3.8.2 Connections to NICs which support Auto-Negotiation, RJ-45 ports

The copper ports of LBH101A-Sereis Convenient Switches will function properly

with NICs (Network Interface Cards) which support Auto-Negotiation, and the Fast Link

Pulse (FLP) coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a NIC to the

LBH101A-Series, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if the

NIC has been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE-TX (such as 10BASE-

T). When 100Mb operation is agreed and in use, the 10/100 LED is illuminated steady ON

and is OFF, if 10 Mbps traffic.
