Connecting Network Cable
The Switch support 5/9 10/100M Ethernet ports and Port 1 ~ port 4/8 are PoE
Enabled ports, these PoE port will automatically activated when a compatible terminal
is identified, the Switch will supply power through the Ethernet port to the connected
PoE powered device (PD). For the Legacy devices that are not yet compatible, the
PoE port will not offer the power to this device. This feature allows users to freely
and safely mix legacy and Power over LAN compatible devices on their network.
The Switch supports 10Mbps Ethernet or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet and it runs both in
half and full duplex mode using two pair of Category 5 cable. These RJ45 ports are
Auto-MDI type port. The Switch can auto transform to MDI-II or MDI-X type, so you
can just make an easy connection that without worrying if you are using a standard
or crossover RJ45 cable.
These ports also supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover
detection function gives true “plug and play” capability, just
need to plug-in the network cable to the hub directly and
don’t care if the end node is NIC (Network Interface Card)
or switch.
