Product Overview
WebView Switches
Chapter 2
CONSOLE
The Switch is equipped with a
serial port labeled Console (located on the
back 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.
Refer to
Chapter 4: Configuration Using the
Console Interface
for more information.
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.
SRW2016
Front Panel
The Switch’s LEDs and ports are located on the front
panel.

LEDs
POWER
(Green) Lights up green to indicate
that power is being supplied to the Switch.
LINK/ACT (1-16)
(Green) Lights up green to
indicate a functional 10/100-Mbps network link
through the corresponding port (1 through 16)
with an attached device. It flashes to indicate
that the Switch is actively sending or receiving
data over that port.
Gigabit
(1-16)
(Amber)
Lights
up
amber
to indicate a 1000-Mbps connection on the
corresponding port (1 through 16) with an
attached device.
ETHERNET 1-16
The Switch is equipped with
16 auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which
use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports
support network speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps,
or 1000 Mbps. 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 (10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps), and adjust its speed
and duplex accordingly.
MiniGBIC (1-2)
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. The
MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed
network segment or individual workstation at
speeds of up to 1000 Mbps.
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.
NOTE:
On the SRW2016, MiniGBIC ports are
shared with standard ports. If a miniGBIC port
is used, then the shared standard port on the
Switch cannot be used. The following table
provides port mapping details of the SRW2016
Switch.
