Features
Module Features - J8162A, J9001A, J9003A
■ Shutdown Module—This is a recessed push button switch that when
pressed and held for more than 2 seconds, initiates an orderly shutdown.
During the shutdown process the Module Ready LED blinks. When the
shutdown is complete enough for a safe module removal, the Module
Ready LED turns off. It is highly recommended to shutdown the module
before resetting or removing the module.
■ Reset Module—This is a recessed push button switch. When this switch
is pressed it causes an immediate reset of the module’s hardware. Pressing
this switch after the shutdown completes will initiate an orderly restart
of the module. It is highly recommended to not press this switch before a
shutdown completes. This could cause unpredictable activity by the
module.
■ Locate Ports—This button on the J8162A module is labeled Locate Acces-
sible Ports and on the J9001A and J9003A modules it is labeled Locate
Ports. The associated LEDs on the J8162A module are labeled Downlink
Client Ports and Uplink Network Ports, and on the J9001A and 9003A
modules they are labeled Downlink Radio Ports and Uplink Network
Ports. This button is used to display the currently associated downlink
and uplink ports.
The first press of the button lights the Downlink Ports LED on the module
and also lights all associated Downlink Port LEDs on the other modules
in the switch chassis. Downlink ports connect to devices such as wireless
access points or radio ports. If the button is not pressed again within a
few seconds the LEDs turn off and the button is reset to the first position.
Upon initial installation there are no Downlink Ports. For more informa-
tion, see the Management and Configuration Guide on the ProCurve
Web site. For the latest version, visit the ProCurve Networking products
Web site www.procurve.com.
The second press of the button lights the Uplink Network Ports LED on
the module and also lights all associated Uplink Port LEDs on the other
associated modules in the switch chassis. Uplink ports are those typically
used for connecting to the fabric. The ProCurve Switch Access Controller
xl Module (J8162A) will communicate with a ProCurve Access Control
Server, for example, a 740wl (J8154A), through one of these ports. If the
button is not pressed again within a few seconds the LEDs will turn off
and the button is reset to the first position.
A third press of the button turns all accessible port LEDs off and resets
the button to the first position.
