The ports are located on the back panel of the Switch.
Ports
10/100/1000
ETHERNET 1-8 The Switch is equipped with eight auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-45
connectors. These ports support auto MDI/MDIX cable detection and network speeds of
10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 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.
Power The Power port is where you will connect the included power adapter.
NOTE: If you need to reset the Switch, unplug the power adapter from the
back of the Switch. Wait a few seconds and then reconnect it.
