GREENCONNECT Your OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch employs a number of initiatives to ensure your product uses the least amount of power possible: 1. High Efficiency Power Adapter The Power Adapter is a model especially designed to meet the Energy Star™ requirements for operating efficiency and also very low standby power when not connected to the switch. These two features ensures your power adapter now uses substantially less power than a conventional linear adapter. 2. Energy Saving Modes Your OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch employs the latest technology to minimise the amount of power it consumes. It uses the latest 65nm silicon to deliver the lowest operating power, and in addition uses features which under normal operating conditions ensures your switch uses the least amount of power. When a port on the switch is not connected to a cable, or the link partner is turned off or removed, the switch reduces the power on that port until it is connected again. You can be confident that your Switch will be taking the least amount of power but still providing the performance that you have come to expect from OfficeConnect. 4 CONFIGURATION Green = 1000M, Yellow = 10/100M, Flash = Activity OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch On = 10/100M, Flash = Activity OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet Switch 8 Figure 1 Network showing sample configuration with Gigabit Switch. 5
