Front Panel The front panel of the W-7200 mobility controller contains the following components:  Four 10GBase-X (SFP+) ports  Two Dual-Media Ports  LINK/ACT and Status LEDs  Management/Status LED  LCD Panel and Navigation Buttons  Console Connections - RJ-45 and Mini-USB  Expansion Slot (reserved for future use) Figure 1 Front Panel of the W-7200 Dual-Media Ports The W-7200 is equipped with 2 sets of dual-media ports (ports 0 and 1). These ports can utilize either the 1000Base-X or 10/100/1000Base-T connections provided. However, the 1000Base-X fiber connection has priority over the 10/100/1000Base-T copper connection. If a link is detected on the 1000Base-X interface, the 10/100/ 1000Base-T connection will be disabled. NOTE: Dell tests and supports optics offered through Dell W-Series products within Dell controller systems. Third party optics are not tested or supported; therefore, Dell does not guarantee proper functionality of third party optics when used in a Dell controller. 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ-45) Ports The W-7200 controller is equipped with two 10/100/1000Base-T copper ports. 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 2 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. 8 | Dell PowerConnect W-7200 Controller Dell PowerConnect W-7200 Series Controller | Installation Guide
