Stack Master LED is lit if there is an active stack link, and the unit is in

 

stack mode.

 

Off: Switch acts as a slave unit in a stack of switches.

Power LED

Solid Green: Power is supplied to the switch and is operating normally.

 

Off: Power is disconnected.

Front Panel Buttons

Reset Button

The Smart Switch has a Reset Button to trigger a hardware reset of the switch. This is equivalent to turning the power off and back on. The last saved configuration will be loaded onto the switch as it resets. The LEDs on the switch should go out and then come back on as the switch goes through its Power On Switch Test (POST).

Factory Defaults Button

The Smart Switch has a Factory Default Button to enable the clearing out of the current configuration and returning the device back to the factory settings. This will remove all settings, including the password, VLAN settings and port configurations. If the switches are in a stack, the stacking settings are cleared by the Factory Defaults Button.
