CONSOLE
The Console port is a serial port that
allows you to connect to a computer's serial port
(for configuration purposes) using the provided
serial cable. You can use HyperTerminal to
manage the Switch using the console port.
POWER The Power port is where you connect
the AC power.

System
(Green/Amber) Lights up green to
indicate that the Switch is powered on.
Lights up amber while the Switch is performing a
system self-test. Blinks amber if the self-test fails.
LINK/ACT (1-24)
(Green) Lights up to indicate
a functional 10/100 Mbps network link through
the corresponding port (1 through 24) with
an attached device. Blinks while the Switch is
actively sending or receiving data over that port.
Power over Ethernet (1-6, 13-18)
up to indicate that power is being supplied to an
attached powered device on the corresponding
port (1 through 6, or 13 through 18).
LINK/ACT (G1-G4)
Switch is actively sending or receiving data over
the corresponding port (G1 through G4).
1000M (G1-G4)
(Yellow) Lights up to indicate a
functional 1 Gbps connection on the corresponding
port (G1 through G4) with an attached device.
24/48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Smart Switch with Resilient Clustering Technology and PoE
(Amber) Lights
(Green) Blinks when the
Product Overview
Stack (G1-G4) (Amber) Lights up to indicate
that the corresponding port (G1 through G4) is
linked to another switch. (Two of these LEDs will
be lit if switch stacking is properly configured.)
Ethernet 1-24 The Switch is equipped with 24
auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which
use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports
support network speeds of 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
They 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.
G1-G4 The Switch is equipped with 4 auto-
sensing Gigabit Ethernet network ports, which
use RJ-45 connectors. The Gigabit Ethernet ports
support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
1000 Mbps. They 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, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps),
and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
miniGBIC (1-2) The miniGBIC (gigabit interface
converter) port is a connection point for a
miniGBIC expansion module, so the Switch can
be uplinked via fiber to another switch. The
MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed
network segment or individual workstation at
speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection using
a miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MGBT1,
MGBSX1, 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.
Stack ID
Displays the Switch's unit ID number if
the Switch is in stack mode.
Stack Master (Amber) Lights up if the switch is
the stack Master during stack mode.
NOTE:
On the SLM224G4PS, MiniGBIC ports are
shared with standard ports. If a miniGBIC port is
used, then the shared standard port on the Switch
cannot be used. The following table defines the
shared port mapping of the SLM224G4PS Switch.
