The following table describes the system LED designations.
Device Hardware Interfaces
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half-
duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover
cables. When inserting a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically:
• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
2 SFP Ports - 1 LED per
port
SFP LINK/ACT • Solid Green - A valid 1000 Mbps SFP
module link is established on the port.
• Flashing Green - Packets transmission or
reception is occurring on the port at
1000 Mbps.
• Solid Yellow - A valid 100 Mbps SFP
module link is established on the port.
• Flashing Yellow - Packets transmission or
reception is occurring on the port at
100 Mbps.
• Off - No SPD link is established on the port.
