DSR1024 switch
The front panel of the DSR1024 switch features two LEDs indicating the Ethernet connection.
• The top green LED, labeled Link, illuminates when a valid connection to the network is
established and blinks when there is activity on the port.
• The lower amber LED, labeled 100M, indicates that you are communicating at the 100 Mbps
rate when using an Ethernet connection.
Additionally, there are two LEDs on the front of your DSR1024 switch to indicate the target
device status: one green and one amber.
• The green LED illuminates when the attached target device has a digital session active.
• The amber LED illuminates when that port is selected.
DSRIQ modules
NOTE: PS/2, Sun and USB DSRIQ modules are available for attaching computers to your DSR1024 switch.
Use the DSRIQ-SRL serial module to connect serial devices to the DSR1024 switch. The DSRIQ-
SRL features two green LEDs: a
POWER LED and a STATUS LED.
• The POWER LED indicates that the attached DSRIQ-SRL is powered on.
• The STATUS LED indicates that a valid selection has been made to a DSR switch.
The DSRIQ-SRL module prevents a serial break from the attached device if the module loses
power. However, a user can generate a serial break with the attached device by pressing
Alt-B
after
accessing the Terminal Applications menu.
