This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel and LED indicators of the SRPM12.
Front Panel Components
The front panel of the Midspan consists of twelve (12) 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports (data only), twelve
(12) 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PoE ports (data + DC power), one (1) 10/100Mbps Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet port for out of band management and a Reset button.
Figure 6 - Front panel view
Data port (upper row of ports): Twelve 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet data input ports.
PoE port (lower row of ports): Twelve 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet data with DC power output ports.
The Midspan prioritizes the PoE ports from 1 through 12 (Port 1 being highest priority, Port 12 being
lowest). When the system does not have enough power to power all of the devices, the power will be
allocated to the units with higher priority.
Management port: One 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet out of band management port.
LED Indicators: Comprehensive LED indicators that display the condition of the Midspan and status of
the network. A description of these LED indicators follows (see LED Indicators).
Reset button: The Reset button is to reset all the setting back to the factory default.
Note: Be sure that you record all settings of your device before resetting it, as all settings will be
erased when the “Reset” button is pressed.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Midspan contains an AC power connector.
Figure 7 - Rear panel view
The AC power connector is a standard three-pronged connector that supports the power cord included in
the box. Plug the female connector of the provided power cord into this socket, and the male connector
into a power outlet. The Midspan automatically adjusts its power setting to any supply voltage in the range
from 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz.
LED Indicators
The LED indicators of the Midspan include Power, CPU, PoE status and Management port status LED
(Figure 8). The following shows the LED indicators for the Midspan along with an explanation of each
indicator.
