HDX type of Fast Ethernet devices).

There are three LED’s per fiber port. The Link (LK) LED indicates “ready for operation” on that port when lit, the F/H LED indicates operation in full-duplex mode when ON (half-duplex when OFF), and the blinking ACT LED indicates receiving Activity on the port. A fiber cable must be connected into a SFF port and the Link (LK) indicator for that port must be ON (indicating there is a powered-up device at the other end of the cable) in order for a LK LED to provide valid indications of operating conditions on that port.

2.2.3Eight-Port Copper Module, 6K8-RJ45

The 6K8-Series’s 8-port Copper port module, model 6K8-RJ45, provides eight 10/100Mb switched RJ-45 ports. The 10/100Mb switched ports normally (as a default setting) are independently N-way auto-negotiating, and auto-crossover(MDIX) for operation at 10 or 100Mb speed in full- or half-duplex mode, i.e., each independently selects a mode and speed to match the device at the other end of the twisted pair cable.

(See Section 4.3 for auto-negotiation and MDIX details). The auto-crossover feature will automatically determine the other side of connection to make the connection, and eliminate the need of cross-over cable.

On the model 6K8-RJ45 module, there are four LEDs for each port, two in the

connector and two separate. The LK (Link) LED indicates “ready for operation” on that

port when lit. The blinking ACT (Activity) LED indicates receiving Activity on that port

when lit. The 10/100 LED indicates operation at 100Mb speed when ON and at 10 Mb

speed when OFF (when auto-
