eco-friendly Button
The eco-friendly button on the front panel of the switch is used to toggle
the port LEDs on or off. You can turn off the LEDs to conserve electricity
when you are not monitoring the device. You can also toggle the LEDs
with the ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in
the Global Configuration mode of the command line interface of the
AlliedWare Plus management software.
The switch is operating in a low power mode when the LEDs are turned
off. Operating the switch in the low power mode does not interfere with the
network operations of the device.
The management software on the switch has a command that blinks the
LEDs so that you can quickly and easily identify a specific unit among the
devices in an equipment rack. It is the FINDME command. The command
works on the switch even if you turned off the LEDs with the eco-friendly
button or NO ECOFRIENDLY LED command.
Note
Before checking or troubleshooting the network connections to the
ports on the switch, you must always check to be sure that the LEDs
are on by either pressing the eco-friendly button or issuing the
ECOFRIENDLY LED and NO ECOFRIENDLY LED commands in
the Global Configuration mode in the command line interface.
