Hardware Features Introduction
The 10/100Base-TX line card uses the following LEDs.
100Base-FX SFP Line Card
The 16-port 100Base-FX SFP line card contains 16 independent Ethernet ports that can be individually configured
with SFP transceivers. Figure 2-7 shows the front panel of the 16-port 100Base-FX SFP line card.

SFP transcievers provide the media-specific portion of a 100Base-FX SFP line card and support Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity across multiple media types and distances. The host Gigabit Ethernet line card provides power,
initialization, and control for each transceiver. Any combination of SFP tranceivers can be used on a single
100Base-FX SFP line card. The SFP tranceivers are not factory installed; you must order, insert, and connect them per
your requirements.
The 100Base-FX SFP line cards accept the SFP transceivers shown in Table 2-9.
External Controls, Indicators, and Connections
The Gigabit Ethernet line card has the following external controls, indicators, and connections:

LED Description
Offline When lit, this amber LED on the left side of the line card indicates that
it is offline (powered off).
The Offline LED also is lit briefly during a reboot or reset of the
RS 3000/RS 3100/RS 3200 and goes out as soon as the control module
discovers and properly initializes the line card.
Online When lit, this green LED indicates that the line card is online and is
ready to receive, process, and send packets if configured to do so.
Link Each port has two LEDs on its connector. The green LED on the left
side of the connector indicates the link status. When this LED is lit, the
port hardware is detecting that a cable is plugged into the port and the
port has established communication with the device at the other end.
Activity The amber LED on the right side of each port connector flashes each
time the port’s transceiver sends or receives packets.
