Once the light changes from amber to green, the connection is established. If the switch doesn't light up when the cable is inserted chances are it's not a cross-over.ģ) Finally, connect the last RJ-45 cable to PC-B's NIC to the chosen port of switch 2. Older switches, however, are unable to perform this task and will require a cross-over cable to work. Newer switches have the ability to sense the input and logically re-wire non cross-over cables. The amber light will indicate connecting, and green will show a successful connection. Connect one end of the RJ-45 connector into the ports chosen for S1 and S2. If the cable is new, remove from the packaging and mark with a piece of tape to alleviate future confusion. The LED will light-up amber until the connection is established, which then will turn green.Ģ) Identify the cross-over cable ( How to Identify a Cross-over Cable). Now connect the other end of the cable into port 18 of switch 1 (S1). 1) Using the diagram created in Step 2, connect one end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the NIC card of PC-A.
