Control The Port Leds - Netgate Nighthawk S8000 User Manual

Nighthawk S8000 Gaming & Streaming Advanced 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GS808E)
When LPI mode is enabled, systems on both sides of the link can disable portions of their functionality
and save power during periods of low link utilization.
• Short cable power saving. Dynamically detects and adjusts power that is required for the detected
cable length.
• Link-down power saving. Reduces the power consumption considerably when the network cable is
disconnected. When the network cable is reconnected, the switch detects an incoming signal and
restores normal power.
By default, the power saving mode is disabled.
To manage the power saving mode on the switch:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page opens.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The Home page displays.
4. From the menu at the top of the page, to the right of NETGEAR, click the three-dot icon and select
Power Saving.
5. Enable or disable the power saving mode by clicking the button.
When the power saving mode is enabled, the button displays blue. When the power saving mode is
disabled, the button displays white.
(You do not need to click an APPLY button.)

Control the Port LEDs

You can turn the blue port LEDs on the switch on and off, either by pushing the button to the left of port 8
(labeled UPLINK) on the back of the switch, or by using the management interface. By default, a port LED
lights when you connect a powered-on device to the port. When the switch functions with its port LEDs off,
we refer to it as Stealth Mode.
