Management Port
The RJ-45 port labeled “Net Management” on the front of the switch is a dedicated
management port. This is the only port on the switch that allows in-band
management access to the SNMP agent. This is a 10/100BASE-TX port with a fixed
MDI-X pinout.
This port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full
duplex) and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically, if this feature
is also supported by the attached device.
Note: The management port cannot be configured.
Mode Button
The function of the mode button is not currently implemented.
Reset Button
Pressing the reset button reboots the switch.
Console Port
The console port on the switch’s front panel is a DB-9 connector that enables a
connection to a terminal for performing switch monitoring and configuration
functions. The terminal may be a PC or workstation running terminal emulation
software, or a terminal configured as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) connection.
A null-modem wired serial cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to this
interface.
Status LEDs
The base unit also includes a display panel for key system and port indications that
simplify installation and network troubleshooting. The LEDs, which are located on
the front panel for easy viewing, are shown below and described in the following
table.
