GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switch LED Designations Port LEDs The following table describes the RJ-45 and dedicated SFP port LED designations. LED Designation Link/ACT LED mode for copper Link/ACT Mode LED: ports 1–48 or 1–24 • Off. No link is established. • Solid green . A valid 1000 Mbps link is established. • Blinking green. The port is transmitting or receiving packets at 1000 Mbps. • Solid yellow. A valid 10/100 Mbps link is established. • Blinking yellow.
GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switch System LEDs The following table describes the system LED designations. LED Designation Power • • • • Solid green. The device is powered on; runtime code is operating. Blinking green. The internal power supply has failed and the system is drawing power from a remote power supply or PoE power from an external power supply. GS728TPP only. Solid yellow. The device is booting up. Off. Power is not supplied to the device. Fan • • Solid yellow.
GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switch Device Hardware Interfaces RJ-45 Ports RJ-45 ports are AutoSensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only an unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink.
GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switch Reset Button The Smart Switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the switch. This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The last saved configuration is loaded into the switch as it resets. To operate the Reset button, insert a device such as a paper clip into the opening to press the recessed button. The front-panel LEDs turn off and light again as the switch performs its power-on self-test (POST).
