55 Installation 1. Operating Environment ER-5398S must be installed and operated within the limits of specified operating temperature and humidity (see previous section under Specifications). Do not place objects on top of the unit. Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the unit. Do not position the hub near any heating source such as heater, radiator, or direct exposure to sun. Prevent entering of water and moisture into the unit. If necessary, use dehumidifier to reduce humidity. 2.
4. Connecting network devices with coaxial cables ER-5398S provides two auto-detect BNC/AUI coaxial ports, each can function as either BNC or as AUI but can be used at the same time. A set of configuration DIP switches are located between port 1 and port 2, they can be used to configure the coaxial port as auto-detect, BNC only or AUI only as illustrated in Figure 5-2 and Table 5-1. 1 2 ON NOTE : The default setting is autodetect mode.
5. Connecting the power Connect the power cord to the power socket on the rear panel of the unit. Connect the power cord to the power outlet and turn on power switch. The green Power LED on the front panel should be lit.
66 Trouble-shooting 1. Power LED is not lit l Check if the power cord is properly connected to the power outlet and the hub. Make sure the power switch on the hub is turned ON. 2. LNK/Rx LED is not lit after connecting to an active workstation l Check the power switch of the network devices attached to the hub; make sure they are turned ON. l Check the network cable; make sure it is properly connected to the hub and the network device.
5. Partition LED is lit l Check the connected devices. The hub will automatically partition a defective Ethernet device which causing excessive errors. 6. Collision LED is constantly flashing l Remove all the network cables; connect the cables back one by one to isolate the source of the collision. l Check the network cable, inferior cable quality will result in excessive collision and error packets. 7. Jabbler LED is constantly flashing l Check the connected devices.
