1.3 Front and Back Panel Descriptions
Refer to the following sections for detailed descriptions of the front
and back panels of the IntraCore 3500 series switches.
1.3.1 IC3524 Models
From left to right, the front panel contains the following: Power and
port LEDs; 24 10/100 ports; 2 optional module slots; and a console
port.
The switch is field upgradeable for use with 100BaseFX, 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseX GBIC or 10/100/1000BaseT modules.
Optional modules for the IC 3524
The back panel (not shown) has only the AC socket.
1.3.2 IC3548-2GT
From the left to the right, the 3548 switch’s front panel contains the
power LED and 2 exchanging LEDs; a push button display mode converter; 48 10/100 ports, each with its own indicator light; and 2
Gigabit ports (capable of using either the GBIC expansion ports [for
fiber and copper GBICs] OR the 10/100/1000BaseT Gigabit
Ethernet ports), each with its own indicator light.

Getting Started Guide
From left to right, the back panel, shown below, contains: a console
port; a 12V DC jack for an external power supply (IC35-RPS12, US
part number 99-00777-01, sold separately); an AC socket (for primary power) and a power switch.
1.4 Management and Configuration
There are three different methods by which a user can manage the
switch: web, console/telnet, or with SNMP software. You may prefer
using a web browser to be able to configure the switch from any
local or remote computer, via the network, or you may wish to use a
console for out-of-band management. SNMP is an advanced management application, and is mostly automatic, giving you the information without having to go through an interface step by step (Note:
The switch is shipped with BootP support. See Appendix F of the
User’s Manual for more information on setting up BootP).
1.4.1 Console Interface
Users can access the switch in a more traditional way by connecting a PC or terminal to the console port or by telnet across the network. The menus are organized in a manner similar to the webbased interface. A detailed description can be found in Chapter 3 Configuration of the User’s Manual. Users must use a console con-
