Product Overview
Front Panel
The LEDs and ports are located on the front panel of the
Switch.
Front Panel
System
(Green) Lights up green to indicate that
power is being supplied to the Switch.
Link/Act (1-24)
(Green) Lights up green to
indicate a functional 10/100 Mbps network link
through the corresponding port with an attached
device. Blinks green to indicate that the Switch is
actively sending or receiving data over that port.
Link/Act (Gigabit/miniGBIC 1-2)
(Green) Lights
up green to indicate a functional 10/100/1000
Mbps network link through the corresponding
port with an attached device. Blinks to indicate
that the Switch is actively sending or receiving
data over that port.
Gigabit
(Amber)
Lights
to
indicate
a
functional 1000 Mbps network link through the
corresponding port with an attached device.
Ethernet 1-24
These RJ-45 ports support
network speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps,
and can operate in half and full-duplex modes.
Auto-sensing technology enables each port to
automatically detect the speed of the device
connected to it (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and
adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
To connect a device to a port, you will need to
use Category 5 (or better) network cable.
Ethernet G1-G2
The Switch is equipped with
two Gigabit RJ-45 ports that are shared with
two miniGBIC ports. If a Gigabit miniGBIC port is
being used, the associated RJ-45 port (Gigabit 1
or Gigabit 2) cannot be used.
Both ports support auto-negotiation, so the
optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex)
and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be
selected automatically, if this feature is also
supported by the attached device. If a device
connected to one of these ports does not support
auto-negotiation, the communication mode of
that port can be configured manually.
Each port also supports IEEE 802.3.x
auto-negotiation of flow control, so the Switch
can automatically prevent port buffers from
becoming saturated.
These ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X
operation, so you can use straight-through cables
for all network connections to PCs, servers, or
additional switches.
MiniGBIC (1-2)
The Switch is equipped with
two miniGBIC ports that have shared Gigabit
Ethernet ports (Gigabit 1 and Gigabit 2) which
provide for the installation of one expansion
module. These ports provide links to high-speed
network segments or individual workstations at
speeds of up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection using
a miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MGBT1,
MGBSX2, or MGBLH1 Gigabit expansion module
and use Category 5e cabling or fiber optic
cabling.
To establish a Fast Ethernet connection using a
miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MFEFX1
(100BASE-FX) or MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) 100SFP
Transceiver and use fiber optic cabling.
Reset
The reset button can be accessed with
a straightened paper clip or similar object. The
reset button has two functions:
Restore Factory Defaults
To restore the
Switch to the factory default settings, press
the
Reset
button for 10 seconds. When you
let go of the button, the LEDs on the front
of the Switch will flash and then return to a
normal state when the Switch is ready.
Restart Device
Press the
Reset
button on
the Switch for less than 3 seconds and the
device will restart.
