Introduction Hardware Overview
1000Base-T Line Card
The 1000Base-T line card contains two independent RJ-45 Ethernet ports. Each port supports a 1000Base-T
connection over category 5 UTP. Figure 2-18 shows the front panel of the 1000Base-T line card.
Figure 2-18 Front panel of 1000Base-T line card
Per-port Link Green – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged into
the port and a good link is established
Red (intermittent) – indicates that the port received an error during
operation
Red (solid) – indicates that the port hardware detects a cable plugged
into the port, however, a bad link is established
Off – indicates that no link from the port exists
Per-port Rx Green – indicates when the port’s transceiver receives packets
Orange – indicates when the port’s transceiver receives flow-control
packets
Per-port Tx Green – indicates when the port’s transceiver transmits packets
Orange – indicates when the port’s transceiver transmits flow-control
packets
Per-port AN Green – indicates that the line card has auto negotiated the operating
mode of the link between full-duplex and half-duplex
Orange (intermittent) – indicates that auto negotiation is in process
Orange (solid) – indicates a problem with auto negotiation
configuration
Red – indicates an auto negotiation failure. This fault may occur if the
link partner does not support full duplex
Off – indicates that auto negotiation has been disabled or the link is
down
