Description of Hardware
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports
There are eight fixed 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports on the switch.
Because these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can
use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers,
or to other switches or hubs.
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum
transmission mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10/100 Mbps)
can be selected automatically. Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x
auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch can automatically
prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
Note:
If a device connected to one of these ports does not support
auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be
configured manually.
100BASE-FX MMF Port
There is one fixed 100BASE-FX MMF fiber port on the switch’s
front panel. The fiber connector is SC multi-mode. The distance for
fiber cabling can be extended to up to two kilometers.
LED Indicators
The LEDs, which are located on the front panel for easy viewing, are
shown below and described in the following table
