Product Outline

Switch-M16eG is an all Giga bit Ethernet Switching Hub with management function 
having 14 ports of 10/100/1000BASE-T and two pairs of 10/100/1000BASE-T port and 
SFP extension slot, one of which is selectable.

1.1 Features

1

Has wire-speed Layer 2 switching function.
Ports 1 to 14 are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to autonegotiation.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
Ports 15 and 16 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port corresponding to 
autonegotiation or an SFP extension slot exclusively.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function. Simply 
connect devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a network device.
(This function does not work if the port communication configuration is set at Fixed 
or Link Aggregation. Ports 1 to 14 are set at MDI-X. (default)) 
Has a loop detection function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the 
corresponding port LED and automatically shuts down the looped port.
Has a loop detection history function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the 
corresponding LED and enables a network administrator to identify the looped port 
after the loop is removed.
Fanless design solves noise problem or fan failure.
Due to the ECO mode LED function,Port LED lamps (left) can be turned off to 
reduce power consumption.
The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.
Has an internet mansion function,which ensures security between each port.
Due to the loop detection/shutoff function,a port where loop has occurred can be 
automatically shut off to prevent loop failures.When a port is shut off and recovered 
automatically,SNMP trap can be sent to notify the incident to the administrator. 
Moreover,the port with a loop can be identified by loop notification on the LEDs on 
the main unit and referring the history of loop on the setting screen.
Has a port grouping function, which groups ports that are allowed to communicate 
with one another to limit communications between different groups.
Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az 
(LPI).When there is no data transmission at link up,the energy-saving state 
automatically starts so that power consumption can be reduced on each port.
Using Embedded power-saving mode,connection status is automatically detected 
and power consumption is minimized.
Supports IEEE802.1Q tagging VLAN.Up to 256 groups of VLAN can be registered.
Supports IEEE802.1X user authentication function (EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP).
Supports ZEQUO assist Plus.Processes from introduction to maintenance can be 
performed easily.
