Overview
The switch provides twenty-four 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support nonstop 10/100/1000M
Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. All RJ-45 ports support PoE+. Two additional ports can accept small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) gigabit interface converters (GBICs) for 1G fiber connectivity.

on page 21.
Note
The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the
network. Using the web browser–based management interface, you can configure the switch and the network,
including the ports, the management VLAN, VLANs for traffic control, link aggregation for increased bandwidth,
Quality of Service (QoS) for prioritizing traffic, and network security.
Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control Center program, which runs on a
Windows-based computer and is included on the resource CD. If you do not use a Windows-based computer,
get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or use an IP scanner utility.
After discovery, you can configure the switch using the web browser–based management interface for
advanced setup and configuration of features, or the Smart Control Center program for very basic setup.
For more information, see the user manual, which you can download from

.
You can install the switch freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. The switch
is IEEE compliant and offers low latency. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which
makes the switch very suitable for a mixed environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet.
Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher-rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors to make Gigabit
connections.
