2–2 MULTILINK ML3000 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
2.1.2 Design Aspects
Designed for use in network traffic centers, the MultiLink ML3000 Ethernet Switch is easy to
install and use. Addresses of attached nodes are automatically learned, maintained, and
aged out, adapting the switching services to network changes. LEDs provide status
information on each port. The ML3000 provides high performance plug-and-play
hardware operation, 802.1p packet prioritization in hardware, and industry-standard
managed networks software functionality, all in convenient 1 U rack-mount packages.
The ML3000 is a 19" rack-mountable Ethernet switch with three eight-port slots (A, B, and
C) and one Gb-only slot (D). Slots A, B and C may be configured with a selection of fiber and
copper ports. Slot D may be configured with a Gb module that accepts GBICs. These
configurable ports allow the ML3000 to efficiently serve a large variety of applications. The
ML3000 modules are usually factory installed, but may be changed or added at a later
date in the field.
Status LEDs are part of each port module and are viewable when connecting the Ethernet
media. The port status data is also accessible through the MultiLink Switch Software.
