LEDs and the
LED Mode Select
Button
This section applies to the AT-8524M, AT-8524POE, AT-8550GB, and

The port LEDs on the front panel display port status information. Each port
has two LEDs. One of the LEDs displays the status of the link between a
port and its end node. The second LED, labeled MODE, displays a variety
of status information, depending on the switch model. You use the Mode
Select button on the front panel to toggle the Mode LEDs to display
different status information. The LEDs next to the Mode Select button
indicate the status being displayed by the port Mode LEDs.
Note
Toggling the Mode Selection button does not affect the normal
operations of the switch.
