Front Panel
The Switch's LEDs and ports are located on the front panel.
LEDs
System
Green. The
System
LED lights green to indicate the power is being supplied to the Switch.
Lights orange to indicate that the Switch’s power-on-self-test (POST) is in progress.
Flashes orange to indicate that the POST has failed.
Link/Act (1-24)
Orange. The
Link/Act
LED lights orange to indicate a functional 1000Mbps network link
through the corresponding port (1 through 24) with an attached device.
Green. The
Link/Act
LED lights green to indicate a functional 10/100Mbps network link.
Flashes to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
PoE
Orange. The
PoE
LED lights orange to indicate a powered device is connected to the
corresponding port (1 through 24). Flashes to indicate that the Switch is actively sending
power over that port.

Ports
LAN (1-24)
The LAN (Local Area Network) ports connect to Ethernet network devices, such as
other switches or routers.
MiniGBIC (12) /MiniGBIC (24)
The Switch is equipped with two mini-GBIC ports. The miniGBIC (gigabit interface
converter) port is a connection point for a miniGBIC expansion module, so the
Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. If a Gigabit mini-GBIC port is
being used, the associated LAN port
(12 and/or 24) cannot be used. They link to
high-speed network peripheral system or clients at speeds of 1000Mbps.
Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 miniGBIC 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.
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 information.
The Back Panel
The power port is located on the back panel of the Switch.
Power
The
Power
port is where you connect the power cord.
NOTE:
If you need to reset the Switch, unplug
the power cord from the back of the Switch.
Wait a few seconds and then reconnect it.

The security slot is located on a side panel.
Security Slot
The security slot is where you can attach a lock so the Switch will be protected from theft.
LAN Ports
The Switch is equipped with twenty-four auto-sensing RJ-45 LAN ports. These RJ-45 ports support network
speeds of either 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps, and 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.
The Switch’s RJ-45 ports also support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that enables DC
power to be supplied to attached devices using wires in the connecting twisted-pair cable. Any 802.3af-
compliant device attached to a port can directly draw power from the Switch over the twisted-pair cable without
requiring its own separate power source. This capability gives network administrators centralized power control
for devices such as IP phones and wireless access points, which translates into greater network availability. For
each attached 802.3af-compliant device, the Switch automatically senses the load and dynamically supplies the
required power. The Switch delivers power to a device using the two data wire pairs in the twisted-pair cable.
Each port can provide up to 15.4 W of power at the standard -48 VDC voltage.To connect a device to a port, you
will need to use Category 5 (or better) network cable.
The Gigabit Expansion Ports
The Switch is equipped with two miniGBIC ports that have shared Gigabit Ethernet ports (12 and 24) which
provide for the installation of one expansion module. These ports provide links to high-speed network segments
or individual workstations at speeds of up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). To establish a Gigabit Ethernet
connection using a mini-GBIC port, you will need to install an MGBT1, MGBSX2, or MGBLH1 Gigabit expansion

The Console Port
24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE
module and use Category 5e cabling or fiber optic cabling. For more information on fiber optic cabling, refer to
“Fiber Optic Cabling” in Appendix B.
The Console Port
The Switch is equipped with a serial port labeled Console (located on the front of the switch) that allows you to
connect to a computer’s serial port (for configuration purposes) using the provided serial cable. You can use
HyperTerminal to manage the Switch using the console port. With this and many other Linksys products, your
networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at www.linksys.com for more information about
products that work with the Switch.
