Ethernet Port Link Status LEDs

 

 

Each Ethernet port has a built-in corre-

 

 

sponding status LED located at the top of

 

 

the port. This LED indicates the link and

 

 

activity status for each Ethernet port. The

 

 

LED displays green when a valid Ethernet

 

 

cable connection exists. Flashes green as

 

 

data is transmitted or received on the port.

 

 

Ethernet Port Power LEDs

 

 

Each Ethernet port has a built-in corre-

 

 

sponding power port LED located at the

 

 

bottom of the port. This LED displays solid

 

 

green when power is properly supplied to

 

 

the port. Flashes green when there is an

 

 

overload or short. And this LED is off if

 

 

there is a power failure.

Power on LAN Ethernet Ports

The OS7-ENI-P24 module provides 24 Ethernet ports; these ports can be used in conjunction with Alcatel’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) feature. PoE provides inline power to connected devices. Refer to “Managing Power over Ethernet (PoE)” in the Hardware Users Guide for detailed information on the feature.

The PoE ports are twisted-pair and are individually configurable as 10BaseT or 100BaseTX. The ports use RJ-45 connectors.
