3.1.1.1 De fa ult Ethe rne t Se tting s
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch are:
• Speed: Auto
• Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
3.1.2 SFP Slo ts
These are slots for Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers. A transceiver is a single unit that
houses a transmitter and a receiver. Use a transceiver to connect a fiber cable to the Switch. The Switch
does not come with transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-Factor
Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i
specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to
connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)

Use the following steps to install a transceiver.
1
Attach an ESD preventive wrist strap to your wrist and to a bare metal surface.
2
Align the transceiver in front of the slot opening.
3
Make sure the latch is in the lock position (latch styles vary), then insert the transceiver into the slot with
the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
4
Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.

The Switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is functioning
properly.
