Model FS516/FS524 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide
LEDs
The table below describes the activity of the LEDs.
Vista RJ-45 Network Ports with Built-in LEDs
All of the ports on the switch are 10/100 Mbps capable autosensing Ethernet
ports. Each port supports only unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable using an 8-
pin RJ-45 plug. Each port uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have two LEDs—the
Link LED and the FDX LED.
Normal/Uplink Push Button
The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the switch allows you to
select uplink (MDI) or normal (MDI-X) wiring for port 16 on the Model FS516
switch and port 24 on the Model FS524 switch. These ports are configured for
normal wiring to connect to a PC when the push button is in the out position.
When the push button is pressed in, these ports are configured for uplink wiring
to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a straight-through twisted pair
cable.
