IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS

This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, side panels, optional plug-in modules, and LED indicators of the DES-3226.

Front Panel

The front panel of the Switch consists of LED indicators, an RS-232 communication port, a slide-in module slot, and either 10, 18 or 24 MDI-X/MDI-II Ethernet/Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) ports, each of which is capable of making an uplink connection.

Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the Switch and the network (see the LED Indicators section below).

An RS-232 DCE console port for setting up and managing the Switch via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program.

A front-panel slide-in module slot can accommodate a 1-port 100BASE-FX (2Km), 2-port 100BASE-FX (2Km), 1-port 100BASE-FL (15Km), 2-port 100BASE-FL (15Km), 2-port 1000BASE- SX, 2-port 1000BASE-LX, 2-port 1000BASE-T, or 2-port GBIC module to connect to another switch, server or network backbone.

Twenty-four high-performance, NWay Ethernet ports all of which operate at 10/100 Mbps for connections to end stations, servers and hubs. All ports can auto-negotiate between 10Mbps or 100Mbps and full or half duplex.

Rear Panel

The rear panel of the Switch contains an AC power connector.
