2.3 About the Copper/Fiber Media Auto-Detection
This switch provides an option to use either copper or fiber media for the first two combo ports -
Port1 and Port2. This enables port configuration using either copper media or fiber media via use of
the mini-GBIC ports and optional SFP (mini-GBIC) modules. The switch will automatically detect
the media type that is plugged into the switch and configure the port as required. If both copper and
fiber media are plugging-in, the fiber media has higher priority than copper and will initially be
used to setup the link. The copper media link will be down. The link for the copper media will be
re-established once the fiber media is un-plugged. The Port Status page will show the current link
status according to the active media type.
