NOTE: The MT-800 can still be used in the stand alone mode when
attached to a network. To do so, enable the loopback function.
4.
Attach segments to Ports 1-8 as described below.
3.3.2
Connecting Devices to the MT-800
Up to eight devices can be attached to the MT-800 through the AUI
ports. The devices could be nodes or another MT-800. The MT-800s can
be configured in layers (cascaded) up to two deep.
Connect nodes or another multiport transceiver to your MT-800 as
follows:
NOTE: If the MT-800 will be used in the stand alone mode, be sure the
loopback function is enabled.
1.
Connect an AUI cable to a male port (Ports 1-8) on the back of the
MT-800.
2.
Connect the AUI cable to the other device.
NOTE: If the device being attached to one of the male ports is another
MT-800, be sure the loopback function is disabled on the second
MT-800.
3.
Plug the power cord into the power cord port on the MT-800.
4.
Plug the power cord into a standard 3-prong outlet.
The MT-800 will now be receiving power, since it does not have a
power switch.
5.
Check that the LEDs are lit under the mode you have selected,
either Network or local. They should be displayed as follows:
The Power (PWR) LED should be on.
If this LED is not lit, check the power cord connections. Unplug
each end and plug it back in.
The RCV and CP LEDs will flash as data is received and
collisions are detected by the MT-800.
