Verifying the Connections
AutoView 3008/3016 switch
The rear panel of the AutoView 3008/3016 switch features LEDs indicating the Ethernet
connection for LAN, as well as LEDs that indicate the target device status for each port.
Ethernet connection LEDs
• The green LED, labeled Link, illuminates when a valid connection to the network is
established at the maximum supported rate and blinks when there is activity on the port.
• The amber LED illuminates when an Ethernet connection is communicating at a slower rate.
• If neither LED is illuminated, connection speed is at a rate of 10 Mbps.
IQ and serial IQ modules
Typically, IQ modules feature two green LEDs: a POWER LED and a STATUS LED.
• The POWER LED indicates that the attached module is turned on.
• The STATUS LED indicates that a valid selection has been made to an AutoView 3008/3016
switch.
The serial IQ module prevents a serial break from the attached device if the module loses power.
However, a user can generate a serial break with the attached device by pressing
Alt-B after
accessing the Terminal Applications menu.
Cascading AutoView Switches
You can cascade other AutoView switch models to an AutoView 3008/3016 switch via a CAT 5
cable. In a cascaded system, an available target port on the AutoView 3008/3016 switch will
connect to an AVRIQ-PS/2 module or ACI (Avocent Console Interface) port on each cascaded
AutoView switch.
NOTE: In a cascaded configuration, the AutoView 3008/3016 switch must be at the top of the cascade.
To cascade multiple AutoView switches if your switch has an ACI port:
1. Using an appropriate length of CAT 5 cable, connect the ACI port on the cascaded switch to an
available port on your 3008/3016 switch.
2. Repeat step 1 for all additional cascaded AutoView switches.
