Introducing the Switch Introducing the Switch Switch Features Console Port This port is used to connect a console to a Series 2600 Switch by using the serial cable supplied with each switch. This connection is described under "8. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch" on page 30 in chapter 2, "Installing the Series 2600 Switches." The console can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. Power Connector The Series 2600 Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically adjust to any voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are no voltage range settings required.

Introducing the Switch
Console Port
This port is used to connect a console to a Series 2600 Switch by using the
serial cable supplied with each switch. This connection is described under
“8. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch” on page 30
in chapter 2,
“Installing the Series 2600 Switches.” The console can be a PC or workstation
running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.
Power Connector
The Series 2600 Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on
when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically
adjust to any voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are
no voltage range settings required.
Switch Features
The features of the Series 2600 Switches include:
■
8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports with HP Auto-MDIX.
■
dual-personality ports—either the auto sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
or the mini-GBIC can be used for each port.
■
Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation—the 2600-PWR Series switches are
IEEE 802.3af compliant and provide up to 15.4W per port to power IP
phones, wireless access points, web cameras, and more. For more infor-
mation, see the
POE Planning and Implementation Guide
, which is on
the Documentation CD-ROM that is included with your switch.
■
The 2600-8-PWR switch supports some pre-standard PoE devices, for a
current list see the FAQ page for the 2600-8-PWR Switch, which can be
found on the ProCurve Web site,
, Technical
Support, FAQs (all).
■
plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
■
HP Auto-MDIX on all 10/100 twisted-pair ports, and IEEE 802.3ab Auto
MDI/MDI-X on all 10/100/1000 twisted-pair ports, meaning that
all
twisted-pair connections can be made using straight-through
cables
. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work.
■
automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch’s 8000-
address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).
