Overview
The 16- and 24-Port Switches differ in number of LEDs and ports. Pictured in this chapter is the 16-Port Switch;
however, the other Switch is similar in form and function.

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 16 or 1 through 24) with an attached device. It flashes to
indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port.

Ports
1-24
The Switch is equipped with 16 or 24 auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-
45 connectors. These ports support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps.
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, 100Mbps, or
1000Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
