Dimension GS-1116A/GS-1124A Gigabit Switch
2-4 Hardware Description and Installation
• 100Mbps or 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
2.4.2 Auto-sensing (Auto MDI/MDIX) Ports
You can connect each RJ-45 auto-sensing port to a computer, hub or switch using either a straight
through or a crossover Ethernet cable.
2.4.3 Mini GBIC Slots
These are slots for Mini GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a single
unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. The switch does not come with transceivers. You must
use transceivers that comply with the Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Transceiver MultiSource
Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.
You can change transceivers while the switch is operating. You can use different transceivers to
connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
) Only laser class 1 fiber optic module can be used. To avoid possible eye
injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic module’s connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface
• Connection speed: 1 gigabit per second (Gbps)
Transceiver Installation
Use the following steps to install a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module).
1.
Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
2. Press the transceiver firmly until it clicks into place.
3. The switch automatically detects the installed transceiver. Check the LEDs to verify that it is
functioning properly.
