Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Switch
SRW248G4
WebView Switches
G1-G4 The Switch is equipped with 4 auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet network ports, which use
RJ-45 connectors. The Gigabit Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps,
100Mbps, or 1000Mbps. They can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing
technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to
it (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
miniGBIC 1-2 The miniGBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a miniGBIC
expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. The MiniGBIC
port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds
of up to 1000Mbps.
Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 miniGBIC modules with the Switch. The
MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC connectors, while the MGBT1
requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.
Back Panel
The power port is located on the back panel of the Switch.
Console The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for
configuration using your PC’s HyperTerminal program. Refer to Chapter 4: Using the
Console Interface for Configuration for more information.
Power The Power port is where you will connect the power cord.

NOTE: If you need to reset the Switch, unplug the
power cord from the back of the Switch. Wait a few
seconds and then reconnect it.
NOTE: On the SRW248G4, MiniGBIC ports are shared with
Gigabit Ethernet ports. If a miniGBIC port is used, then the
shared Gigabit Ethernet port on the Switch cannot be
used. See "Table 1:SRW248G4 Shared Port Mapping" for
port mapping details of the SRW248G4 Switch.
