2.3 About the Copper/Fibre Media Auto-Detection
This switch provides an option to use either copper or fibre media for the first two combo ports -
Port1 and Port2. This means that you can setup the link by using either copper media to plug-in to
the copper port or use fibre media to plug-in the mini-GBIC port. This switch will automatically
detect which media is plugged into the port. If both copper and fibre media are plugged in the fibre
media has higher priority than the copper to setup the link; the link on the copper media will
be down. The link for the copper media will be re-setup after the fibre media is un-plugged. The
Port Status page will show the current link status according to the active media linking.
NOTE: The link status will take 10 seconds to be stable after any port mode changing (copper /
fibre media switching or auto / force mode changing for fibre media.) for combo ports.
