About the Switch
The Switch is a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Switch, which consists of:
■
8 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports
and either:
■
One 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T (10/100/1000) port or
■
One 100BASE-FX LC port and one SFP port
The 100BASE-FX and SFP port is a combination port. When an SFP
module is inserted it has priority over the 100BASE-FX port of the same
number. The corresponding 100BASE-FX port is disabled when an SFP
module is present.
The Switch supports Power over Ethernet on ports 1, 2, 5 and 6. If you
plug in a compatible (IEEE 802.3af compliant) device, it will be
automatically detected and power supplied to it. Power over Ethernet is
enabled on these ports by default.
