[. . . ] Port LEDs LED Speed/Link/Activity (Left LED on each RJ-45 port) Designation • Off = No link is established on the port. €¢ Solid Green = The PoE PD is connected and the port is supplying power successfully. €¢ Flashing Yellow = One of the following failures resulted in stopping power to that port: – Short circuit on PoE power circuit. SFP Port Indicate LED System LEDs The following table describes the system LED designations. System LEDs LED Power/Status LED Designation • Solid Green = Power is supplied to the switch and the switch is operating normally. €¢ Off = There is at least 7W of PoE power available for another device. €¢ Solid Yellow = Less than 7W of PoE power is available. €¢ Flashing Yellow = The PoE MAX LED was active in the previous two minutes. poE MAX LED Device Hardware Interfaces RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (halfduplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. 0, March 2010 2-3 GS110TP Hardware Installation Guide To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover cables. When inserting a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically: • • Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable. Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such as when connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink” connection (such as when connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub). Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straightthrough cables when attaching devices. €¢ Reset Button The Smart Switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the switch. To operate the Reset button, insert a device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button. The front-panel LEDs should extinguish and light again as the switch performs its Power On Self Test (POST). Factory Defaults Button The Smart Switch has a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can remove the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the Factory Defaults button, all settings including the password, VLAN settings, and port configurations are removed. [. . . ] Ensure that cable distances, repeater limits, and other physical aspects of the installation do not exceed the Ethernet limitations. Switch Integrity If required, verify the integrity of the switch by resetting the switch. To reset the switch, remove the AC power from the switch and then reapply AC power.
