6.0 OPERATION
Once the Model IM2RC/I-100B is installed, it should operate transpar- ently. The following sections describes the power-up, general operating instructions, and the LED status monitors.
6.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
In order to operate, the Model IM2RC/I-100B must be installed in the rack unit. It also requires a 10/100Base-T connection. After power is applied, the IM2RC/I-100B automatically starts performing the bridging function without further user intervention. MAC addresses discovered are automatically loaded into the MAC address table. They are automat- ically deleted from the MAC address table if they experience an inactivity of 8 minutes.
6.2 POWER-UP
The Model IM2RC/I-100B is a hot-swappable rear card that receives power from the NetLink rack power bus. Therefore, it is powered up as soon it is plugged into the rack and the rack power supply is turned on.
6.3 LED STATUS MONITORS
The Model IM2RC/I-100B features two LEDs that monitor the link and activity status of the 10/100BaseT interface. Figure 9 (below) shows the LEDs located directly beneath the RJ-45 jack.
