Introducing the HP ProCurve Switch 212M and 224M
Front of the Switches

Mode Select Button and Indicator LEDs

To optimize the amount of information that can be displayed for each of the
switch ports without overwhelming you with LEDs, the Switch 212M/224M
uses a Mode LED for each port. The operation of this LED is controlled by the
Mode Select button, and the current setting is indicated by the Mode Indicator
LEDs near the button. Press the button to step from one mode to the next.

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to the switch by using the serial cable
supplied with the switch. This connection is described under "Connecting a
Console to the Switch" in chapter 2, "Installing the Switch 212M and 224M".
The console can be a PC running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100
terminal.

Reset Button

This button is used to reset the switch while it is powered on. This action clears
any temporary error conditions that may have occurred, executes the switch
self test, and resets all network activity counters to zero. The counters are
displayed in the switch console interface, the switch web browser interface,
and through SNMP network management applications, such as HP TopTools
for Hubs & Switches.
