Access Ports (Ethernet Ports)
Depending on the model, the S1500 Mobility Access Switch is equipped with 12, 24, or 48 10/100/
1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports. Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is
bi-directional, which means, the same pair is used for both data transmission and data reception.
Figure 6
illustrates the Gigabit Ethernet port pin-out for a RJ-45 connector. The pins paired on a 10/100/1000BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet port are: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8.
All Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE, providing up to 15.4 W of DC
power, and IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), supplying up to 30.0 W of DC power to
connected devices, but the power per port is subject to the total power available in the chassis.
For more information on PoE and S1500 power supplies, see
“Power Supply” on page 15
.

Ethernet Port LEDs
Each 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port is equipped with two LEDs allowing you to monitor the status and
activity on the port. These LEDs provide basic monitoring of the status and activity of each port.
LINK/ACT
: Placed on the left side of the port. Displays the link status and activity of the port.
STATUS
: Placed on the right side of the port. Displays the status of the port based on the mode
selection using the MODE button.

SHUTDOWN LED
This LED turns On when the chassis has reached the designated
temperature threshold or when the
halt
command is executed.
