NOTE
The PoE LEDs work only when PoE is enabled on your device.
The 48-port 10/100/1000 Mpbs Ethernet PoE interface module supports Power over Ethernet (PoE+). To run PoE+ on your system,
you must also install at least one 48-volt to 54-volt power supply.
The module ports provide status information through the LEDs described in the table below.
TABLE 6 LEDs for the 48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet PoE interface module
LED Position State Meaning
Link or Activity Square LED located at upper left
corner of top port (for top port)
Square LED located at upper right
corner of top port (for bottom port)
On (Green) A link is established with the remote
port.
Blinking The port is transmitting and
receiving traffic.
Off No link exists with the remote port.
PoE (if applicable) Round LED located beneath the
ports. The first (left-most) LED is
for port 1, the second LED is for
port 2, the third LED is for port 3,
etc. On (Green) The port is enabled, a power-
consuming device has been
detected, and the module is
supplying power to the device.
Off The port is not providing in-line
power.
NOTE
This module occupies two slot spaces, and can be installed in certain slots only. For details refer to Installing management and
interface modules on page 55.
48-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet PoE+ interface module limitations
The following limitations apply to this module:
• Q-in-Q and SAV (VLAN stacking) are not supported on this module
Second Generation 24-port Gigabit Ethernet copper interface module
The Second Generation 24-port Gigabit Ethernet copper interface module has 24 10/100/1000 ports with RJ45 connectors for Cat5
cabling. The copper ports support automatic MDI or MDIX detection, and use auto-sensing and auto-negotiating to determine the speed
(10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full-duplex or half-duplex) of the port at the other end of the link, and adjust the port
accordingly. Ports running at 1000 Mbps operate in full-duplex mode only and cannot be modified.
The 24-port Gigabit Ethernet copper interface module supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). You can either order the interface module
with PoE capability, or upgrade your existing 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Copper module by installing a PoE daughter card. To run PoE on
your system, you must also install at least one 48-volt power supply.
