[. . . ] The Link LED to the right of the 1000BASE-SX fiber port indicates whether or not proper signaling is established with the remote port. For further information about fiber optic cables and connectors, refer to Appendix B, "Connector Pin Assignments, " and Appendix C, "Cabling Guidelines. " 8806FA Figure 2-3. 1000BASE-SX Fiber Connection Warning: Fiber optic equipment can emit laser or infrared light that might injure your eyes. Never look into an optical fiber or connector port. Always assume that fiber optic cables are connected to a light source. Normal/Uplink Push Button The Normal/Uplink push button on the front panel of the switch, as illustrated in Figure 2-1, allows you to select uplink (MDI) or normal (MDI-X) wiring for port 8 on the Model FS509 switch. This port is configured for normal wiring to connect to a PC when the push button is in the out position. When the push button is pressed in, this port is configured for uplink wiring to connect to another switch or to a hub, using a straight-through twisted pair cable. Physical Description 2-3 Installation Guide for the Model FS509 Fast Ethernet Switch LEDs The LEDs on the front panel of the switch and two vista LEDs on each RJ-45 connector allow you to identify the following information: · · Status of the power supply For each 10/100 Ethernet port: ­ ­ ­ · Network link at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Data transmission or receive activity Collision occurrence when in half-duplex mode or full-duplex mode For the fiber port: ­ ­ ­ Link status (fiber port 9 operates only at 1000 Mbps) Data transmission or receive activity Full-duplex operation 2-4 Physical Description Installation Guide for the Model FS509 Fast Ethernet Switch Table 2-1 describes each LED on the front panel of the Model FS509 switch. Table 2-1. Label Power LED Descriptions Color Green Activity On Off Description Power is supplied to the switch. Packet transmission or reception is occurring on the port. The blinking action corresponds to the number of packets that are transmitted or received. No packet transmission or reception is occurring on the port. A full-duplex link is established on the port. A half-duplex link is established on the port, and the port is experiencing collisions. (Note that occasional collisions are normal. ) No full-duplex link is established, or no collisions are occurring on the port when operating in half-duplex mode. A valid 100 Mbps link is established on the port. No 100 Mbps link is established on the port. A valid 10 Mbps link is established on the port. No 10 Mbps link is established on the port. A valid 1000 Mbps link is established on the port. No 1000 Mbps link is established on the port.

Rear Panel of the Model FS509 Switch FDX/AUTO Duplex Toggle Switches Full-duplex mode is supported for all 10/100 Mbps ports (ports 1 through 8) and allows a port to transmit and receive data at the same time. Full-duplex operation applies only to point-to-point access (for example, when a switch is connected to a PC, a server, or another switch). Setting the toggle switch to AUTO on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to determine duplex mode automatically. In this mode, the 10/100 Mbps port operates in either full- or half-duplex mode, depending on the operating mode of the remote port. If supported by the remote node, the port will establish a 100 Mbps full-duplex link as the default.

Each fiber link needs a clearly defined, external crossover. In other words, the transmit port of one interface must be wired to the receive port of the opposite interface and vice versa. Fiber cables must be connected in this manner to transmit and receive data. [. . . ]
