Model FS308 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide

Front Panel

The front panel of the Model FS308 switch contains the following LEDs that
correspond to each network port located on the back of the hub: 100 Mbps link/
activity (100 Link/Act), 10 Mbps link/activity (10 Link/Act), and full-duplex/
collision (FDX/Col). Each vista RJ-45 network port has its own 100 Link/Act
and 10 Link/Act LED as well.

LEDs

The table below describes the activity of the LEDs.

Vista RJ-45 Network Ports with Built-in LEDs

All of the ports on the switch are 10/100 Mbps capable autosensing Ethernet
ports. Each port supports only unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using an 8-
pin RJ-45 plug. Each port uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have two LEDs—the
100 Link/Act LED and the 10 Link/Act LED.
