DELL Wireless Devices ExpressCard Slot Port LEDs

ExpressCard Slot

The W-620 Series is equipped with one ExpressCard slot, which can be used with an EVDO device.

Port LEDs

In non-rack deployments, the W-620 Series is placed with the front facing out. This allows the cables to be hidden and create a more aesthetically pleasing look. Therefore, a set of LEDs displaying link activity on the ports is placed on this side. For information about the behavior of these LEDs, see Table 3.

Rear View

AC Power Socket

The W-620 Series supports integrated AC powering and the AC power socket on the rear of the unit is for use with an AC power cord (country-specific). Refer to Appendix A, “Specifications, Safety, & Compliance” on page 15 for power specification details.

10/100BaseT Ethernet Ports

There are eight 10/100BaseT Ethernet ports on the W-620 Series. Ports 0 through 3 support Power over Ethernet (PoE). Ports 4 through 7 do not support PoE and do not have a PoE LED. Instead, they have an LED labeled 100, which indicates interface speed. For information about LED behavior, see Table 3.

10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Port

There is one 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet (RJ-45) port on the W-620 Series. Gigabit Ethernet uses all eight wires and each pair is used in a bi-directional fashion, meaning the same pairs are used for both data transmission and reception. Figure 3 illustrates the CAT-5 pin-out found on an RJ-45 connector. The CAT-5 pin-out pairs the following pins on a 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet port: 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8.

Serial Console Port

A serial console port (see Figure 4) is provided for connection to a terminal, allowing for direct local management. The port's RJ-45 female connector accepts an RS-232 serial cable with a male connector.

Figure 4 Serial Console Port Pin-Out

Caution: Do not connect an AP to the serial console port. The serial console port is compatible only with RS-232 devices. Non-RS-232 devices, such as APs, are not supported.

Serial Console Port Adaptor

A modular adaptor can be used to convert the RJ-45 (female) connector to a DB9 (male) connector. Refer to Figure 5 for complete details.

USB Ports

The W-620 Series has one USB 2.0 interface. This interface allows the use of EVDO/HISPDA modem, flash or disk storage devices, or a printer. For more information about configuring and using USB devices with the W-620 Series, see the ArubaOS User Guide.

Media Eject Button

The W-620 Serics is equipped with a media eject button, which allows users to eject a storage device safely and place the system in standby. When the button is pushed, the storage media device attached to the controller via USB are unmounted. Printers and EVDO devices are unaffected.

Pushing the media eject button changes the state of the W-620 Series; the table below describes the states and LED behaviors associated with use of the media eject button.
