Gigabit Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

After the device is powered on, the LED indicators should respond as follows:

♦

The Power LED indicator will light while the Switch loads onboard software, and should remain on as
long as the switch has power.

♦

The Console LED indicator will remain ON if there is a connection at the RS-232 port, otherwise this

LED indicator is OFF.

Power Failure

As a precaution, the Switch should be unplugged in case of power failure. When power is resumed, plug the
Switch back in.
