Feature

 

Description

 

 

 

Downlink ports

The chassis has 24 downlink ports. An SFP transceiver must be installed in

 

 

the port socket for the port to operate. Cable type and recommended cabling

 

 

distance are determined by the type of SFP transceiver installed in the

 

 

downlink port. A status LED is associated with each port.

 

 

Green—The link is established and operational.

 

 

Amber—The port is disabled.

 

 

Blinking amber—The system has detected a fault with the link.

 

 

Off—No link is established or the SFP transceiver is not installed.

Uplink ports

The chassis front panel has 8 uplink ports. An SFP transceiver must be

 

 

installed in the port socket for the port to operate. Cable type and

 

 

recommended cabling distance are determined by the type of SFP transceiver

 

 

installed in the uplink port. A status LED is associated with each port.

 

 

Green—The link is established and operational.

 

 

Amber—The port is disabled.

 

 

Blinking amber—The system has detected a fault with the link.

 

 

Off—No link is established or the SFP transceiver is not installed.
