FRONT PANEL
The front-panel LED indicators — POWER, LINK/ACT — allow for more convenient monitoring
and troubleshooting of the switch. The table below shows each LED function.
REAR PANEL
Power receptacle: Plug the female end of the power cord firmly into the receptacle and the
other end into an electrical outlet. Confirm that the power LED is lit for a normal power status.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation, use only the power cord included with the switch.
Ports: All the ports on the Fast Ethernet Office Switch support Auto-MDI/MDI-X functionality, so
crossover cables and uplink ports are not needed for connections to PCs, routers, hubs,
additional switches or other devices. Cat5/5e UTP/STP cables provide optimal performance;
if a front-panel LED corresponding to any of the ports in use doesn’t indicate a link or activity,
check the connected device for proper setup and operation.
