SRW208L - Front Panel
The Switch's LEDs and ports are located on the front panel.
LEDs
System Green. The SYSTEM LED lights up to indicate that the Switch is powered on.
Link/Act Green. The LINK/ACT LED lights up to indicate a functional network link through the
corresponding port (1 through 8, G1, or 100LX) with an attached device. It flashes to
indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
100M Orange. The 100M LED lights up to indicate a 100Mbps connection on the corresponding
port (1 through 8).
Gigabit Orange. The Gigabit LED lights up to indicate a Gigabit connection on the corresponding
RJ-45 port (G1).
Ports
1-8 The Switch is equipped with 8 auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-45
connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps or 100Mbps.
They can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each
port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps),
and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
