Getting to Know the Switch

Front Panel

Getting to Know the Switch
Front Panel
The switch's LEDs and ports are located on the front panel.

LEDs

System—The System LED lights green to indicate the power is being supplied to the switch.
Lights orange to indicate that the switch's power-on-self-test (POST) is in progress. Flashes
orange to indicate that the POST has failed.
Link/Act (1-24)—The Link/Act LED lights orange to indicate a functional 1000Mbps network
link through the corresponding port (1 through 24) with an attached device.
Link/Act (1-24)—The Link/Act LED lights green to indicate a functional 10/100Mbps network
link. Flashes to indicate that the switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
PoE—The PoE LED lights orange to indicate a powered device is connected to the
corresponding port (1 through 24). Flashes to indicate that the switch is actively sending power
over that port.

Ports

LAN (1-24)—The LAN (Local Area Network) ports connect to Ethernet network devices, such as
other switches or routers.
MiniGBIC (12) /MiniGBIC (24)—The switch is equipped with two mini-GBIC ports. 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. If a Gigabit mini-GBIC port is
being used, the associated LAN port (12 and/or 24) cannot be used. These ports link to a high-
speed network peripheral system or clients at speeds of 1000Mbps.
Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 miniGBIC modules with the switch. The MGBSX1
and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC connectors, while the MGBT1 requires a Category
5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.
Console—The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PC's serial port for
configuration using your PC's HyperTerminal program. See Chapter 4: Using the Console Interface
for Configuration for more information.
