[. . . ] Each of the 10/100 Mbps ports uses vista RJ-45 connectors that have built-in LEDs, as illustrated in Figure 2-2. The LEDs, as described in Table 2-1 on page 2-5, indicate that the connection to the port is valid and that the port is operating at either 10 or 100 Mbps. For further information about the vista RJ-45 connector and the RJ-45 plug, refer to Appendix B, "Connector Pin Assignments, " and Appendix C, "Cabling Guidelines.

The Vista RJ-45 Connector with Built-In LEDs 2-2 Physical Description Installation Guide for the Model FS509 Fast Ethernet Switch 1000BASE-SX Fiber Ports The Model FS509 switch has one 1000BASE-SX fiber port. This port operates at 1000 Mbps full-duplex exclusively and provides a standard duplex SC connector for 62. 5/125 µm or 50/125 µm multimode fiber optic cable. Figure 2-3 shows a fiber optic cable connection to a duplex SC connector. The Link LED to the right of the 1000BASE-SX fiber port indicates whether or not proper signaling is established with the remote port. For further information about fiber optic cables and connectors, refer to Appendix B, "Connector Pin Assignments, " and Appendix C, "Cabling Guidelines. " 8806FA Figure 2-3. 1000BASE-SX Fiber Connection Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that might injure your eyes. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source. Normal/Uplink Push Button The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the switch, as illustrated in Figure 2-1, allows you to select uplink (MDI) or normal (MDI-X) wiring for port 8 on the Model FS509 switch. This port is configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC when the push button is in the out position. When the push button is pressed in, this port is configured for uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a straight-through twisted pair cable. Physical Description 2-3 Installation Guide for the Model FS509 Fast Ethernet Switch LEDs The LEDs on the front panel of the switch and two vista LEDs on each RJ-45 connector allow you to identify the following information: · · Status of the power supply For each 10/100 Ethernet port: ­ ­ ­ · Network link at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Data transmission or receive activity Collision occurrence when in half-duplex mode or full-duplex mode For the fiber port: ­ ­ ­ Link status (fiber port 9 operates only at 1000 Mbps) Data transmission or receive activity Full-duplex operation 2-4 Physical Description Installation Guide for the Model FS509 Fast Ethernet Switch Table 2-1 describes each LED on the front panel of the Model FS509 switch. Table 2-1. Label Power LED Descriptions Color Green Activity On Off Description Power is supplied to the switch. The blinking action corresponds to the number of packets that are transmitted or received. A half-duplex link is established on the port, and the port is experiencing collisions. (Note that occasional collisions are normal. ) No full-duplex link is established, or no collisions are occurring on the port when operating in half-duplex mode. No 1000 Mbps link is established on the port.

Rear Panel of the Model FS509 Switch FDX/AUTO Duplex Toggle Switches Full-duplex mode is supported for all 10/100 Mbps ports (ports 1 through 8) and allows a port to transmit and receive data at the same time. Full-duplex operation applies only to point-to-point access (for example, when a switch is connected to a PC, a server, or another switch). Setting the toggle switch to AUTO on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to determine duplex mode automatically. In this mode, the 10/100 Mbps port operates in either full- or half-duplex mode, depending on the operating mode of the remote port. If supported by the remote node, the port will establish a 100 Mbps full-duplex link as the default. If the remote port cannot provide the proper signal to indicate its own capability, the 10/100 Mbps port on the switch will default to half-duplex mode. Because repeaters and hubs use a common collision domain for all communications and cannot communicate in full-duplex mode, the associated 10/100 Mbps port on the switch should be set to auto-duplex operation when connecting to these types of devices. Setting the toggle switch to FDX on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to determine the speed but will set the duplex mode to full-duplex. 2-6 Physical Description Installation Guide for the Model FS509 Fast Ethernet Switch As Figure 2-4 shows, a full-duplex (FDX) toggle switch or an auto-duplex (AUTO) toggle switch are assigned to each 10/100 Mbps port on the Model FS509 switch. The communication mode can be set to either full-duplex or auto-duplex mode. Note: In addition to setting the duplex toggle switches to the correct position, make sure that all Fast Ethernet topology rules are followed. FDX/Auto Gigabit Toggle Switch The 1000 Mbps gigabit Ethernet port operates only in full-duplex mode and must only be connected to other full duplex devices. [. . . ] The RJ-45 plug accepts 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) 100-ohm cable and connects into the vista RJ-45 connector. The vista RJ-45 connector (also referred to as a 10/100 Mbps port) is used to connect stations, hubs, and switches through UTP cable; it supports 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps data transmission. The RJ-45 plug and vista RJ-45 connector are both illustrated in Figure B-1. 12345678 8 1 711EA Key: 1 to 8 = pin numbers Figure B-1.
