Viewing the PoE Port Status
If the 4H4285‐49 is installed in an N5 chassis or is receiving 48 Vdc from an external
N‐POE Power System to support connections to PDs (Powered Devices), you can view the
power status indications on the RX and TX LEDs. However, only one group of 12 ports
may be viewed at a time. To view the PoE port status, refer to
Figure 4‐1 and proceed as
follows:
1. Press the GROUP SELECT button for more then two second. The 4H4285‐49 will enter
the PoE port status mode and the PoE LED turns green.
2. Now, every time you press the GROUP SELECT button for less than a second, the
GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which Group is selected. The PoE
POWER STATUS for that group of segments is then indicated by the RX and TX LEDs
for each segment. If there is power at the port, the RX LED is green and the TX LED is
off. Otherwise, refer to
Table 4‐1 for troubleshooting information.
3. Press the GROUP SELECT button again for more than two second. This returns the
4H4285‐49 to the default status mode to monitor RX (receive) and TX (transmit)
activity and the PoE LED turns off.
Table 4‐1 describes the LED indications and provides recommended actions as
appropriate.
Note: The terms flashing, blinking, solid, and Alternately used in Table 4-1 indicate
the following:
Flashing indicates an LED is flashing randomly.
Blinking indicates an LED is flashing at a steady rate (approximately 50% on, 50% off).
Solid indicates a steady LED light. No pulsing.
Alternately indicates an LED is flashing at a steady rate other than 50% on, 50% off.
