Verify Cable Connections; Diagnostics And Checking Communications - D-Link DFE-690TXD User Manual

Verify Cable Connections

Check to see that the computer you are troubleshooting is properly connected.
Each computer must be connected from its DFE-690TXD with Category 5
cables. Examine the network cables and ensure that being walked-on, rolled
over by chairs, or caught in doors, has not damaged them. Additionally, make
note of and alleviate any possible electromagnetic interference that may be
affecting your network.
Your network cables can be plugged into any port on your hub except the
"Uplink" port. The "Uplink" port is only used when connecting your hub to
another hub or switch.

network or connections. To use "Network Diagnostic," please run
program on both computers in MS-DOS Mode.
