Port LEDs

Port LEDs

When the IntraSwitch is first powered on, the port and

 

 

diagnostic LEDs blink. The green power light illuminates and

 

 

remains on, indicating electrical power to the unit.

 

 

The IntraSwitch 5212 has five rows of LEDs. The following

 

 

table states their color and meaning:

LED

Color

Meaning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

100Mbps

green

10/100TX port or an installed Asanté MII expansion

 

 

 

port is operating at 100Mbps speed.

 

 

 

Note: These LEDs only function with ports capable of

 

 

 

operating at 100Mbps speed (i.e., the 10/100TX port or

 

 

 

an installed 10/100 Asanté MII module).

 

Max Util

amber

The corresponding port’s receive buffer is full

 

 

 

(maximum utilization).

 

 

 

Note: It is normal to see these LEDs light when the

 

 

 

network is in a state of moderate-to-heavy activity.

 

FDP/Col

amber

Indicates full duplex mode on the 10/100TX port or on

 

 

 

an installed Asanté MII expansion port.

 

 

 

Indicates a collision at the switching port for those

 

 

 

ports operating in half-duplex mode.

 

 

 

Note: Full duplex means that a port can transmit and

 

 

 

receive at the same time.

 

 

 

Note: Collision is indicated only on those ports

 

 

 

operating in half duplex mode.

 

Data

green

Traffic activity is occurring on the port (transmit [TX]

 

or receive [RX]).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: During heavy traffic periods, this LED may be lit

 

 

 

continuously.

 

Link

green

A node or other network device is properly connected

 

 

 

to the corresponding port.
