• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such as
when connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink” connection (such as when connecting the
port to a router, switch, or hub).
• Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without
requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting
uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-
through cables when attaching devices.
SFP GBIC Module
The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F,
AGM732F, or AGM733 from NETGEAR, allowing fiber connections on the network. The module
bay is a combo port, sharing a connection with an RJ-45 port. Being a combo port, only one type
of connection can be active at any given time. For example, both copper and fiber port cannot be
used at the same time. If both connectors are plugged in at the same time, the fiber port will be
active.
The SFP GBIC bay accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module.
Factory Defaults Button
The Smart Switch has a Factory Default button so that you can remove the current configuration
and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the Factory Default button, all
settings, including the password, VLAN settings and port configurations will be removed.
