HP MSM720 Installation Guide

Network ports
• Access network: Four auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T ports. All these ports have the
Auto-MDX feature, which means that you can use either straight-through or crossover twisted-pair
cables to connect any network devices to the controller.
• Internet network: Two dual-personality ports for either 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 (Auto-MDX)
uplinks, or optional mini-GBIC (SFP) slots for fiber uplinks.

There are three groupings of LEDs on the controller:
• Status LEDs (Table 1 (page 5))
• Port LEDs (Table 2 (page 5))
• Port LED Mode indicator LEDs (near the Mode selector button) (Table 3 (page 6))
