Switch Port LEDs
The ShoreGear-24 has 24 telephone/trunk port LEDs. The color of the LED indicates
the port function:
• Green when the port is a telephone port.
• Yellow when the port is a trunk port.
• Off indicates the port is reserved for IP phones, for conferencing, or is
unconfigured.
The following describes the switch port LED behavior and meaning:
Network LEDs
The ShoreGear-24 network LEDs indicate the speed at which the switch is
communicating with the network and whether there is network activity.
The network LED descriptions are as follows:
Telephone Port
LEDs (Green)
• When on steady, the port is configured as a telephone port
and the telephone is idle.
• When flashing with ring cadence, the telephone is ringing.
• When flashing slowly, the telephone is off hook.
• When flashing fast, the port is in use (call in progress).
Trunk Port LED
(Yellow)
• When on steady, the port is configured as a trunk port and
the trunk is idle.
• When flashing slowly, the trunk is off hook.
• When flashing fast, the trunk is in use (call in progress).
Port LED (Red) When on, the port is out of service.
Off (IP phone) When the LED is off, the port is reserved for IP phones, for
conferencing, or is unconfigured.
Link When lit, the switch is connected to an Ethernet network.
100M When lit, the switch is connected to a 100BaseT network.
When off, the switch is connected to a 10BaseT network.
Traffic This LED indicates network activity, as follows:
• When flashing, network activity is detected.
• When on (not flashing), heavy network activity is detected.
• When off, network activity is not detected.
NOTE This LED is not directly related to any particular switch’s individual
network activity. For example, if you have three switches that are
connected to the same hub, and one switch’s Traffic LED shows
activity, the other switches will indicate the same.
