Chapter 1: Overview
eco-friendly Button
32
The eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch is used to toggle
the port LEDs on or off. Refer to Figure 8. You can turn off the LEDs to
conserve electricity when you are not using them to monitor the device.
You can also toggle the LEDs with the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO
ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in the Global Configuration mode of the
command line interface of the AlliedWare Plus management software.
The switch is operating in a low power mode when the LEDs are turned
off. The low power mode does not interfere with the network operations of
the device.
The management software on the switch has a command that blinks the
LEDs so that you can quickly and easily identify a specific unit among the
devices in an equipment rack. It is the FINDME command. The command
works even when the switch is operating in the low power mode, with the
port LEDs turned off.
Note
Before checking or troubleshooting network connections to ports on
the switch, you should always check to be sure that the LEDs are on
by either pressing the eco-friendly button or issuing the
ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in
the Global Configuration mode in the command line interface.
