1 INTRODUCING THE BASELINE SWITCH This chapter provides an overview of the features and capabilities of the 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-SFP Plus, 3Com Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus, and 3Com Baseline Switch 2250-SFP Plus. It also identifies the contents of the Switch package and helps you get to know the physical features of the device. Overview of the Baseline Switch The 3Com® Baseline Switch 2226-SFP Plus is a versatile, easy-to-use configurable switch. The 3Com® Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus is a versatile, easy-to-use configurable Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Switch. The 3Com® Baseline Switch 2250-SFP Plus is a versatile, easy-to-use configurable switch. Each Switch is ideal for users who want the high-speed performance of 10/100 switching with the added functionality of Gigabit copper and fiber links, but do not need sophisticated management capabilities. The Switch is shipped ready for use. No configuration is necessary. Features and Capabilities The Switch has 24 or 48 shielded RJ-45, 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiating ports and 2 Gigabit combo ports (comprised of a RJ-45 port and a Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slot) on the front panel for easy, flexible connection to fiber-based Gigabit media. A console port is also provided on the front panel to enable out-of-band configuration. Autosensing of MDI/MDIX Connections All ports on the Switch can autosense both medium dependent interface (MDI) and medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) connections. This allows you to connect network devices to each port using either a normal straight-through TP (twisted pair) cable or a 'crossover' TP cable. Any port can therefore be used to connect to another switch port, server, or workstation without additional configuration. Autonegotiating 10/100 Mbps Ports Each 10/100 Mbps port automatically determines the speed and duplex mode of the connected equipment and provides a suitable switched connection. The

This chapter provides an overview of the features and
capabilities of the 3Com Baseline Switch 2226-SFP Plus,
3Com Baseline Switch 2426-PWR Plus, and 3Com
Baseline Switch 2250-SFP Plus. It also identifies the
contents of the Switch package and helps you get to
know the physical features of the device.
