Product Overview
1.4 Ethernet Panel Description The Ethernet connector panel of the RSG2300 is organized into three banks of
eight 10/100Tx copper ports, for a total of 24 fixed 10/100Tx ports, and four
modular slots, whose configuration may be selected at the time the unit is
ordered. Figure 3 shows the physical layout of these ports.

Slots 1 and 2 support two-port fiber or copper modules up to 100Mbps, and Slots
3 and 4 support two-port modules up to 1Gbps. Section 3.5 lists and provides
specifications for the fiber optic interfaces available for the RSG2300. The
complement of modules that is installed on a particular unit may be determined
by reading the factory data file via the RuggedSwitch® ROSTM user interface.
Each two-port Ethernet module is equipped with an LED per port that indicates
link/activity status information. The LED is solid for ports with a valid link, and
blinks for activity. Figure 4 shows a copper port module in slot 1 and a fiber
module in slot 2 along with the associated link/activity LEDs for each port.
