Edge 8300 device supports 10 Ethernet interfaces and 4 PRI interfaces on the front panel. - 2 x 10Gbps SFP+ Ethernet interfaces
- 8 x 1Gbps RJ-45 Ethernet interfaces
- 4 x T1/E1 RJ-48 PRI interfaces
The following diagram shows the Edge 8300 front panel:
Edge 8300 Front Panel
Config Button
The Config button on the front panel is a recessed, pinhole button used to reset the CLI password or reset the entire router configuration (including the CLI password) to its original Factory settings. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to reset the CLI password. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds to reset the entire router configuration.
Caution
Resetting the router configuration causes a service outage. In addition, all customized settings must be reconfigured after the reset.
USB Ports
The Edge 8300 device contains 2 x USB 2.0 ports located on the front panel on the combined USB + serial console connector. The USB 3.0 port is located as a stand-alone port with a blue internal tab. The transfer rates offered by USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps and that offered by USB 3.0 is 4.8 Gbps. The USB 3.0 port supports USB 2.0 but at the lower data rate.
Serial Console Port
The RJ-45 port is configured as an RS232 serial console output port, configured at 115200 Baud rate, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no hardware flow control. It is denoted as 115200 8N1.

10G Ethernet SFP+ Ports
The Unable to show "metadata-from": No such page "_space_variables" device offers 2 x 10Gbps SFP+ interfaces, allowing different connections such as:
- Copper module
- Single mode Fiber (SMF) module
- Multi-mode Fiber (MMF) module
Note
The SFP+ interface is not compatible with SFP modules.
1G Ethernet Ports
The device has 8 x 1Gbps Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports for copper connections. Each port has a unique MAC address.
PRI Ports
The 8300 system supports 4 x T1/E1 PRI ports. The ports are connected to the public network using 4-wire shielded 26 AWG or larger twisted pair telecommunication line cords with RJ-48C connector type.
T1/E1 Connector Pinouts

|---|---|
1 | Receive Ring |
2 | Receive Tip |
3 | no connection |
4 | Transmit Ring |
5 | Transmit Tip |
6 | no connection |
7 | no connection |

Reset Button
The Reset button on the front panel is a recessed, pinhole button used to restart the system. It has the same effect as operating the Power Switch on the back panel. It does not alter the system configuration. Press the button quickly to restart the system.
Caution
Restarting the system causes a service outage.
LEDs
When lit, the Power LED indicates power is supplied to the system.
The LAN Status LEDs change to indicate the current state of the connection.
LAN Port LED
10/100/1000 Ethernet Ports LEDs | ACT/LINK LED | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Off | The device is not powered, no cable connected, or no powered device connected to the associated port. | |
Solid Green | Powered device connected to the associated port | ||
Flickering Green | Activity is seen from the device associated with the port (traffic in the inbound or outbound direction on the associated port). | ||
| Speed LED | |||
| Off | The device is not powered, no cable connected, or the port speed is set to 10 Mbps. | ||
Solid Green | A powered device is connected, and the port speed is set to 100 Mbps. | ||
Solid Amber | A powered device is connected, and the port speed is set to 1000 Mbps. | ||
The following table describes the function, Activity LED color and behavior of the LEDs:
LED Indications
| Function | Activity LED color | LED Color and Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
Power LED | Solid Green | Green color LED when system powered |
SATA device access LED | Red blinking | Red color LED blinking when read/write access SATA devices; off when no data accessing activity. |
SFP+ 10G Giber port LED | Blue blinking | Blue color LED, blinking when port is at data transmitting/receiving activity; lights up when port is linked. |
T1/E1 port LED | Solid Green | Indicates that the T1/E1 link is in the up, green state and has achieved T1 frame synchronization. |
T1/E1 port LED | Solid amber | Indicates that the T1/E1 is in the down, yellow alarm state. The remote end is not able to synchronize to the T1 link. |
T1/E1 port LED | Solid Red | Indicates that the T1/E1 is in the down, red alarm state. It is not receiving framing from the remote end. |
