Introduction
15-Pin Connector
The standard 15-pin connector on the other end of the BayStack 22 PC Card
Adopter (Figure 1-1
) attaches to the 15-slot connector on the media coupler.
Media Coupler
The media coupler (Figure 1-2
) provides connection to the BayStack 22 PC Card
Adopter and to Ethernet networ k devices. Three LEDs located on the media
coupler indicate 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s transmission speed and connection stability.

Figure 1-2. Media Coupler
The 15-slot connector on the media coupler attaches to the 15-pin connect or on
the BayStack 22 PC Card Ado pter. The ot her end of the media coupl er c ontai ns an
RJ-45 port. You can attach a standard Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port to connect
the network card to a network device such as a hub or switch.
RJ-45 Ethernet Por t
The RJ-45 10BAS E-T/100BASE- TX Etherne t port adapts to the correct network
speed of 10 Mb/s or 100 M b/s thro ugh autone goti at ion with the board c omponen ts
of the network card. The port is wir ed as an MDI-X port to connect to other
devi ces without using a crossover cable.

LEDs
The media coupler contains three LEDs (Figure 1-3).
Figure 1-3. LEDs
The 10 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s Li nk LEDs ind icate succ essf ul netwo rk connec tions to
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices, respectively. The Link LEDs remain steady if
the connection is stable. You should check the RJ-45 con nection if the LED is not
steady. The Activity LED indicates that network traffic is passing through the
port.

Use standard Ethernet cables to connect network devices, such as hubs, to the
media coupler. You can then attach other devices to the hub to share netw or k
resources. Figure 1-5
provides an example of a laptop computer attached to a
BayStack 60-24T 10/100 Ethernet Hub. You can attach the hub to other
workstations, printers, servers, and additiona l laptop computers.
