Installing and Connecting the TokenSpeed Module

Port 2:

Act LED lights when software is loaded from flash memory.

Ins LED lights when software loading is complete and the system begins executing.

All LEDs turn off when the module has started up successfully.

Ins LEDs on all ports toggle on and off, until the first port inserts successfully.

On the TokenSpeed module, the following sequence occurs:

Port 1:

Act (activity) LED lights during switch memory test.

Ins (inserted) LED lights during management bus test.

Port 2:

Act LED lights while the module waits for software download from the MCP.

All LEDs turn off when the module has started up successfully.

Ins LEDs on all ports toggle on and off until the first port inserts successfully.

Configuring the TokenSpeed Module

The TokenSpeed module is shipped preconfigured with the configuration settings listed in Table 3-3. If transparent switching and no spanning tree operation are appropriate for your network, no further configuration is necessary.
