ws-8-150-dc port colors and status

[terry.rigby]

Hello,

I'm new to the Netonix switches. We have just installed a few switches on site and the two ports that are connected to two separate diesel generators are showing as red in the web interface and when hovering show 10M-f. What does this mean and is there a manual somewhere that shows what the different colour port lights and status all means? The only thing I have found os far is the pdf maunal on the ws-8-150-dc page which does red as passive PoE however this doesn't seem to correspond as PoE is off for these ports.

Thanks,
Terry

Short answer is there are two colors for each port:

The outside color shows what PoE power option is being used.

The inside box color shows the port data rate (red = 10Mb, yellow = 100Mb, and green = Gb).

Hovering provides the information as you discovered: e.g. 10M-f is 10Mb data rate full duplex.

Here is an intro to the switches...

There is no manual that I am aware of.
