This chapter describes how to connect the DES-1008FX to your
Fast Ethernet network.
PC to Switch
A PC can be connected to the Switch via a two-string fiber straight
cable. The PC (equipped with a 100 Mbps SC jack) should be
connected to any of the eight ports (1x - 8x) of the DES-1008FX.
The LED indicators for PC connection are dependent on the LAN
card capabilities. If LED indicators are not illuminated after
making a proper connection, check the PC’s LAN card, the cable,
Switch conditions and connections.
NOTE: If your SC connectors are not locked together the TX and
RX on the PC's side, the cable connectors at the switch must
reversed to RX and TX of the Switch. This allows a TX from the
card to enter into the RX of the switch. Locked (paired) SC
connectors should be manufactured in this manner.
The following are LED indicator possibilities for a PC to Switch
connection:
