3Com 3848 Switch User Manual


 
Switch — Front View Detail 15
using SFP transceivers to provide connectivity between the Switch and
remote 1000 Mbps workgroups or to create a high capacity aggregated
link backbone connection.
The SFP ports are capable of auto-negotiating flow control. As the speed
and duplex modes are fixed by the media type, only the flow control is
negotiated with the link partner. Alternatively, auto-negotiation can be
disabled and the flow control setting can be manually configured.
Console Port The console port allows you to connect a terminal and perform remote or
local out-of-band management. The Switch 3812 and Switch 3824 have
a DB-9 serial connector and need a serial cable to connect to your PC.
The Switch 3848 has an RJ-45 serial port and is supplied with an RJ-45 to
DB-9 cable.
The standard null modem cable is set to autobaud (up to a maximum of
19,200 baud), 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
LEDs Table 4
lists LEDs visible on the front of the Switch, and how to read their
status according to color. For information on using the LEDs for problem
solving, see
Checking for Correct Operation of LEDs on page 23.
