I don't think the 4501 has auto-MIDIX ports, so you must use a crossover
cable if you are connecting to another non-switch device, such as some DSL
bridges or Cable modems.  If you connect your 4501 temporarily to a
switch with that cable, and the LED comes on, that's likely the problem.

Googling "ethernet crossover cable" would be your next move for either DIY
or purchase.
