Front Panel
The Switch’s LEDs and ports are located on the front
panel.
Front Panel of the SLM2048
SYSTEM (Green) Lights up to indicate that the
Switch is powered on. Blinks while the Switch is
performing a system self-test.
LNK/ACT (1-48) (Green) Lights up to indicate
a functional 10/100/1000 Mbps network link
through the corresponding port (1 through 48)
with an attached device. Blinks to indicate that
the Switch is actively sending or receiving data
over that port.
Gigabit (1-48) (Amber) Lights up to indicate
a functional 1000 Mbps connection on the
corresponding port (1 through 48) with an
attached device.
Reset Press and hold the Reset Button for less
than ten seconds to reboot the Switch. Press and
hold the Reset Button for more than ten seconds
to reset the Switch’s settings to the factory
defaults.
Ethernet 1-48 The Switch is equipped with 48
auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which
use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports
support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps,
or 1000 Mbps. They can operate in half- and full-
duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables
each port to automatically detect the speed of
the device connected to it (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps,
or 1000 Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex
accordingly.
miniGBIC (1-2) 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. The
MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed
network segment or individual workstation at
speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection using
a miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MGBT1,
MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 Gigabit expansion module
and use Category 5e cabling or fiber optic
cabling.
To establish a Fast Ethernet connection using a
miniGBIC port, you will need to install a MFEFX1
(100BASE-FX) or MFELX1 (100BASE-LX) 100SFP
Transceiver and use fiber optic cabling.
NOTE: On the SLM2048, MiniGBIC ports are
shared with standard ports. If a miniGBIC port is
used, then the shared standard port on the Switch
cannot be used. The following table defines the
shared port mapping of the SLM2048 Switch.
