LEDs
POWER (Green) Lights up green to indicate that power is being supplied to the Switch.
LINK/ACT (1-48) (Green/Amber) Lights up green to indicate a functional 10/100-Mbps network link through the corresponding port (1 through 48) with an attached device. It flashes to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port. Lights up amber to indicate a 1000-Mbps connection on the corresponding port (1 through 48) with an attached device. It flashes to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
ETHERNET 1-48 The Switch is equipped with 48 auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. They can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
Product Overview
MiniGBIC (1-4) The miniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a miniGBIC expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. The MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 miniGBIC modules with the Switch. The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC connectors, while the MGBT1 requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.
NOTE: On the SRW2048, MiniGBIC ports are shared with standard ports. If a miniGBIC port is used, then the shared standard port on the Switch cannot be used. The following table provides port mapping details of the SRW2048 Switch.
