connectors for connection to 10/100/1000Mb Ethernet equipment. Each
connector has a Link Active and a PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) indicator LED.
By default, the LCD shows the switch’s soft label name, its IP address and subnet class
and, on the bottom line, whether any messages are queued pending review. If there are
no messages queued, the bottom line is blank. If the switch has not been given a soft
label (using Pathport Manager configuration software), its IP address is shown instead.
Push the rotary encoder knob to reach the Base Configuration menu, or turn the knob to
review individual port information and to enter each Port Configuration menu.
