Installing the 10Base-FL Module in an Unused Slot
8.
Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that the
port(s) connected in the preceding step are up. (If you have not already
done so, install the LED label strip as described in step 1 on page page 6.)
The “port-enabled” LED (1, 2, 3, 4) will be lit for each port that is up. The
transmit (Tx) and/or receive (Rx) LEDs for each port that is transmitting
and/or receiving packets will flash when traffic is detected on the port.

9.
Customize the port configuration, if necessary. (See “Customizing the
Port Configuration”, below.)
10. Reboot the switch, since this is a new module being installed. (See
“Rebooting the Switch” on page 12 for more information on when the
switch must be rebooted.)
Customizing the Port Configuration
If the slot in which you installed the 10Base-FL Module was empty the last
time the switch was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was
cycled), then the module will use preconfigured default parameter values that
will work for most networks.
The default 10Base-FL port configuration is:
■
Enabled: Yes
■
Mode: Half Duplex
■
Trunk (port trunking): None
■
Broadcast Limit: 0
If necessary, configure the port(s) in the module by using the switch console
interface. (See the
Console User’s Guide
shipped with the Switch 2000, and
the online Help provided in the console interface itself.)
If the default port configuration listed above is acceptable for your network,
then skip this process.
