Product Description of SCALANCE X-400

A device with an accepted C-PLUG (ACCEPTED status) inserted uses the configu- ration data of the C-PLUG automatically when it starts up. Acceptance is possible only when the data was written by a compatible device type.

This allows a basic device to be replaced quickly and simply. The C-PLUG is taken from the failed component and inserted in the replacement. The first time it is started up, the replacement device has the same configuration as the failed device except for the MAC address set by the vendor.

Notice

If the SCALANCE X414-3E is replaced, the settings of the DIL switches on the Switch CPU and the configuration with media modules or extender modules must be duplicated.

Diagnostics

Inserting a C-PLUG that does not contain the configuration of a compatible device type, accidentally removing the C-PLUG or general malfunctions of the C-PLUG are signaled by the diagnostics mechanisms of the device (LEDs, WEB-based management, SNMP and CLI).
