Installation Guide (J3191A, J3192A, and J3193A) 1996-09

Installing the 100Base-T Module in an Unused Slot

9. Check the port LEDs for the newly-installed module to ensure that the

port(s) connected in the preceding step are operating correctly. (If you

have not already done so, install the LED label strip as described in step

1 on page 7.) The “port-enabled” LED (1, 2) will be lit for each port that is

operating correctly. The transmit (Tx) and/or receive (Rx) LEDs for each

port that is transmitting and/or receiving packets will flash when traffic

is detected on the port.

10. Customize the port configuration, if necessary. (See “Customizing the

Port Configuration”, below.)

11. Reboot the switch, since this is a new module being installed. (See

“Rebooting the Switch” on page 13 for more information on when the

switch must be rebooted.)

Customizing the Port Configuration

If the slot in which you installed the 100Base-T Module was empty the last

time the switch was either rebooted or reset (or the power to the switch was

cycled), then the module will use preconfigured default parameter values that

will work for most networks.

The default 100Base-T port configuration is:

■ Enabled: Yes

■ Mode: 100 Mbit/s-Half Duplex

■ Trunk (port trunking): None

■ Broadcast Limit: 0

If the default port configuration listed above is not acceptable for your

network, then configure the port(s) in the module by using the switch console

interface. (See the Console User’s Guide shipped with the Switch 2000, and

the online Help provided in the console interface itself.)
