Chapter 3. FRONT PANEL
OPERATION
This chapter describes the front panel operation of the switch.
3.1 Overview
The switch front panel (Figure 3-1) provides the local interface to configure, operate, and
monitor the switch. Proper operation of the switch depends on its proper configuration
and setup. The following sections describe the front panel and its operation in detail.
A 48-character, 2-line LCD display in the upper-front panel displays options, and status
for the user.
The nine LEDs grouped under the LCD display provide mode and fault status at a glance,
and a 16-key keypad to the right allows the user to perform setup, configuration, and
operation functions.
