Console The Console port is where you can
connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for
configuration using your PC’s HyperTerminal
program. Refer to Chapter 4: Using the
Console Interface for Configuration for more

SRW208L - Front Panel
The LEDs and ports are located on the front panel of the
Switch.
Front Panel
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) or miniGBIC port
(G2).
ETHERNET 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.
G1 The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter)
port is a connection point for a mini-GBIC
expansion module, so the Switch can be
uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each
MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed
network segment or individual workstation at
speeds of up to 1000Mbps.
Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1
mini-GBIC modules with the Switch. The
MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling
with LC connectors, while the MGBT1 requires
a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45
connector.
