Virtual LANs (VLANs)
Adding a Transceiver Module. If you install a transceiver module in a
previously unoccupied slot, the port for that transceiver module will be

Before installing a transceiver module in the Switch 800T, you must first turn
off the power to the switch to avoid damaging switch components. Refer to
"1. Install Add-In Transceivers" on page 1-3.
