LED Descriptions

The front panels of the FS517TS and FS524S Switches have LEDs that provide a quick and accurate display of port speed, activity, collisions, duplex mode, as well as activity between stacked switches. Table 2-1 summarizes the LEDs on the FS517TS and FS524S Switches. A detailed description of the LEDs follows the table.

Description

 

 

 

 

Power

Green

On

Power is supplied to the switch.

 

 

Off

Power is disconnected.

 

 

 

 

100 Mbps

Green

On

Port has made a 100 Mbps connection.

 

Green

Off

Port has made a 10 Mbps connection.

 

 

 

 

Activity / Collision

Green

Blinking

Data transmission is occurring on the port.

 

Yellow

Blinking

Data collision is occurring on the port. The rate at

 

 

 

which this LED blinks corresponds to the number of

 

 

 

collisions. When a collision occurs, the connected

 

 

 

device pauses and transmits again after waiting a

 

 

 

specified time.

 

 

 

 

Stack

Green

On

A valid link is established on the stacking port.

 

 

Off

A link is not established on the stacking port.

 

 

Blinking

Packet transmission or reception is occurring on

 

 

 

the port.

 

 

 

 

Link

Green

On

Port has a valid link connection.

 

 

Off

A valid link has not been established on the port.

 

 

 

 

FDX

Green

On

Port is operating in full-duplex mode.

 

 

Off

Port is operating in half-duplex mode.

 

 

 

 

17 ACT

Green

On

Data transmission is occurring on the front panel

Gigabit copper port.

 

 

Off

Data transmission is not occurring on the Gigabit

 

 

 

copper port.

 

 

 

 

1000M

Green

On

Port has a valid 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps) link connection

(Port 17 on the
