Chapter 2 Gigabit (Orange) The Gigabit LED lights up to indicate a Gigabit connection on the corresponding RJ-45 port (G1 through G2). ETHERNET 1-8 The Switch is equipped with 8 auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps or 100Mbps. They can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly. G1-G2 The Gigabit Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps. They can operate in half and fullduplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly. The G1 and G2 RJ-45 ports are shared with the miniGBIC ports. miniGBIC1/2 The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a miniGBIC expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each MiniGBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to 1000Mbps. Console The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PC's serial port for configuration using your PC's HyperTerminal program. Refer to Chapter 4: Using the Console Interface for Configuration for more information. Back Panel The console and power ports are located on the back panel of the Switch.
