Front Panel
The front panel of the Switch consists of LED
indicators, an RS-232 communication port, a slide-in
module slot, one switched MDI-X/MDI-II uplink port,
and 23 (10/100 Mbps) Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports.

• Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of
the switch and the network (see the LED Indicators
section below).
• An RS-232 DCE console port for setting up and
managing the switch via a connection to a console
terminal or PC using a terminal emulation program.
• A front-panel slide-in module slot for Gigabit Ethernet
ports can accommodate a 2-port 1000BASE-T
Gigabit Ethernet module, a 2-port 1000BASE-SX
, or a 2-port GBIC-based Gigabit Ethernet module.
• One switched MDI-X/MDI-II Uplink port that can be
used to connect a straight-through cable or a crossed
cable to a normal (non-Uplink) port on a switch or
hub. This port is identical to the other 23 ports
except for the ability to use a crossed or a straight-
through cable.
• Twenty-three high-performance, Ethernet ports all of
which operate at 10/100 Mbps for connections to end
stations, servers and hubs. All ports can auto-
negotiate between 10Mbps or 100Mbps, full or half
duplex, and flow control.
