Features and functionality of the ProCurve Switch
Access Controller xl Module (J8162A).
Shutdown Module—This is a recessed push button switch that when
pressed and held for more than 2 seconds, initiates an orderly shutdown.
During the shutdown process the Module Ready LED blinks. When the
shutdown is complete enough for a safe module removal, the Module
Ready LED turns off. It is highly recommended to shutdown the module
before resetting or removing the module.
Reset Module—This is a recessed push button switch. When this switch
is pressed it causes an immediate reset of the module's hardware. Pressing
this switch after the shutdown completes will initiate an orderly restart
of the module. It is highly recommended to not press this switch before a
shutdown completes. This could cause unpredictable activity by the
module.
Locate Accessible Ports—This button is used to display the associated
downlink and uplink ports. The first press of the button lights the Down-
link Client Ports LED on the module and also lights all associated Down-
link Client Port LEDs on the other modules in the switch chassis.
Downlink ports connect to devices such as wireless access points. If the
button is not pressed again within a few seconds the LEDs turn off and
the button is reset to the first position. Upon initial installation there are
no Downlink Client Ports. For more information, see the Management
and Configuration Guide on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with
your switch or for the latest version you can also visit the HP networking
products web site http://www.hp.com/go/procurve.
The second press of the button lights the Uplink Network Ports LED on
the module and also lights all associated Uplink Port LEDs on the other
associated modules in the switch chassis. Uplink ports are those typically
used for connecting to the fabric. The ProCurve Switch Access Controller
xl Module will communicate with the ProCurve Access Control Server
740wl (J8154A) or the ProCurve Integrated Access Manager 760wl
(J8155A) through one of these ports.
If the button is not pressed again within a few seconds the LEDs will turn
off and the button is reset to the first position.
A third press of the button turns all accessible port LEDs off and resets
the button to the first position.
