Layer 2 Management 4-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The Switch is equipped with four auto-sensing RJ-45 ports. These RJ-45
ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps and
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 and
adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
To connect a device to a port, you will need to use a network cable. You will
need to use Category 5 (or better) cable. For more information on twisted-
pair cabling, refer to the Twisted-Pair Cabling section.
The Switch is equipped with four expansion ports that provide for the instal-
lation of up to four expansion modules. These ports provide links to high-
speed network segments or individual workstations at speeds of up to
1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet).
To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection, you will need to install an
EFPC2SC or EFP2GE Gigabit expansion module and use Category 5e
cabling or fiber optic cabling. for more information on fiber optic cabling,
refer to the Fiber Optic Cabling section.
The Switch is equipped with a serial port labeled CONSOLE (located on the
front of the switch) that allows you to connect to a computer’s serial port (for
configuration purposes) using the provided serial cable.
