If you replace an electrical extender with an optical extender (or vice versa), this can lead to 
malfunctions. 
The IE switch therefore reacts as follows: 
●  The extender is disabled. 
●  The red fault LED "F" lights up. 
●  The event is shown in the log table in WBM. 
To activate the replacement extender, restart the IE switch: 
●  The extender is active. 
●  The red fault LED "F" goes off.
