Hi,
I am trying to connect a new Baystack 380-24T to Accelar 1100-A (x2) I have 1000SX and 1000LX modules in the Accelars and 3xSX/1xLX GBIC in the 380. When I connect the LX fibre modules, the amber RX light on the accelar goes dark (Autonegotiate enabled on both units) If I fix Accelar to FDuplex, I get a green _steady_ RX light, but no connectivity. I have had similar results with the SX links. No link light on the 380.

I can get full connectivity at 100mb/s by connecting the two switches with a copper cable--oddly enough, not a crossover , I found by accident, but it works(!?).

I am connecting only one patch at a time to avoid loops (STP is disabled on all switches), and can verify that RX-TX/TX-RX is correct.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Simon.
