Access Ports
The W-7024 controller is equipped with twenty-four 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) ports. These
port are labeled from 0 to 23. 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 an 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.
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 available in the chassis.
Figure 3: 10/100/1000BASE-T Port Pin Out
Access Port LEDs
Each 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port is equipped two LEDs that allow basic monitoring of status,
activity, and configuration of the port.
