The front panel of the IC35160-T contains the following: Power and port LEDs; 12 10/100/1000BaseT ports;
4 dual-function Gigabit ports that support either 1000BaseT or GBIC style Gigabit Ethernet ports; a 10Mbps
web management port; and a console port.
The back panel, not shown, contains a 12VDC jack for (optional) emergency power; the primary power bay
cover plate; the primary power outlet; and the on/off switch.
1.5.2 IC35160-G
The front panel of the 35160-G contains the following: Power and port LEDs; 12 GBIC ports; 4 dual-function
Gigabit ports that support either 1000BaseT or GBIC style Gigabit Ethernet ports; and a console port.
The back panel, shown below, contains: A 10Mbps web management port; a 12VDC jack for (optional)
emergency power; the primary power bay cover plate; the on/off switch; and the primary power outlet.
Note: The 10Mbps Web Management port on both the IC35160-T and –G will have a future implementation,
and has no function at the time of this writing.
1.6 Management and Configuration
There are three different methods by which a user can manage the switch: web, console/telnet, or with
SNMP software. You may prefer using a web browser to be able to configure the switch from any local or
remote computer, via the network, or you may wish to use a console for out-of-band management. SNMP is
an advanced management application, and is mostly automatic, giving you the information without having to
go through an interface step by step (Note: The switch is shipped with BootP support. See Appendix F of
the User’s Manual for more information on setting up BootP).
