Diagnosing and Correcting the Problem

Befo re you perform the problem-so lving steps in this secti on, cycle the power to

the BayStack 450 switch (disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord);

then, verify that the switch follows the normal power- up sequence.

Green On The corre spo ndi ng port is set to ope r ate at 1 00 M b/s an d

the link is good.

Green Blinking The corresponding port has been disabled by software.

Amber On The corresponding port is set to operate at 10 Mb/s and

the link is good.

Amber Blinking The corresponding port has been disabled by software.

Off The link connection is bad or there is no connection to

this port.

Link Link status Green On BayStack 450-12F model only: valid communications link

established.

Off Th e co mmunications link connection is ba d or there is no

connection to this port.

Blinking The corresponding port is management disabled.

F Dx Duplex status Green On BayStack 450-12F model only: the corresponding port is

in full-duplex mode.

Off The corresponding port is in half-duplex mode

Activity Port activity Green

or

Amber

Blinking Indicates network activity for the corresponding port. A

high level of network activity can cause the LEDs to

appear to be on continuously.

Warning: To avoid bodily injury from hazardous electrical current, never

remo ve the top cover of t he device. The re are no user- ser viceable componen ts

inside.

Vorsicht: Um Verletzungsgefahr durch einen elektrischen Stromschlag

auszuschließen, nehmen Sie niemals die obere Abdeckung vom Gerät ab. Im

Geräteinnern befinden sich keine Komponenten, die vom Benutzer gewartet

werden können.
