Access Ports (Ethernet Ports)
The 7010 controller is equipped with sixteen 10/100/ 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports (0 to 15). Gigabit
Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is bi-directional, which means, the same pair is used for both
data transmission and data reception. Figure 3 illustrates the Gigabit Ethernet port pin-out for a RJ-45
connector. The pins paired on a 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port are: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8.
Figure 3 Gigabit Ethernet Port Pin-Out
All Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable ports support IEEE 802.3af PoE, providing up to 15.4 W of DC
power, and IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), supplying up to 30.0 W of DC power to
connected devices, but the power per port is subject to the total PoE power (150W) available in the chassis.
Ethernet Port LEDs
Each 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port is equipped with two LEDs allowing you to monitor the status and
activity on the port. These LEDs provide basic monitoring of the status and activity of each port.
LINK/ACT: Placed on the left side of the port, and displays the link status and activity of the port.
STATUS: Placed on the right side of the port, and displays the status of the port based on the
information displayed by this LED changes based on LCD’s mode.
