Port Connections
This section provides details on making connections to switch network interfaces, including how to install optional transceivers,
and details on network cable specifications.
Cable Labeling and Connection Records
When planning a network installation, it is essential to label the opposing ends of cables and to record where each cable is
connected. Doing so will enable you to easily locate inter-connected devices, isolate faults and change your topology without need
for unnecessary time consumption.
To best manage the physical implementations of your network, follow these guidelines:
Clearly label the opposing ends of each cable.
Using your building's floor plans, draw a map of the location of all network- connected equipment. For each piece of
equipment, identify the devices to which it is connected.
Note the length of each cable and the maximum cable length supported by the switch ports.
For ease of understanding, use a location-based key when assigning prefixes to your cable labeling.
Use sequential numbers for cables that originate from the same equipment.
Differentiate between racks by naming accordingly.
Label each separate piece of equipment.
Display a copy of your equipment map, including meanings of all abbreviations at each equipment rack.
Understanding the Port Status LEDs
The switch includes LED indicators for each port to indicate link status and network activity.
The port LEDs are shown below and described in the following table.
Installing an SFP Transceiver
The switch provides slots for optional SFP transceivers. The supported transceiver types are listed below:
1000BASE-SX
1000BASE-LX
1000BASE-ZX
1000BASE-BX10
1000BASE-BX20
100BASE-BX20
NOTE:
SFP transceivers are hot-swappable. The switch does not need to be powered off before installing or removing a transceiver.
NOTE:
SFP transceivers are not provided in the switch package.
