LED Indicator:
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the Switch
and the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below).
Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Port 1~16):
The Switch has sixteen Gigabit twisted pair ports, which support auto negotiable
10/100/1000Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection function. This function
provides true “plug and play” capability; you just need to plug-in the network
cable to the hub directly regardless of if the end node is NIC (Network Interface
Card) or switch and hub.
These ports can operate in half-duplex mode for 10/100Mbps
and full-duplex mode for 10/100/1000Mbps.
Mini GBIC Ports
The Switch is equipped with two mini-GBIC ports, which support
optional 1000BASE-SX/LX mini-GBIC modules.
Note: When the port is set to “Forced Mode”, the Auto MDI/MDIX will be
disabled.
