RJ-45 10/100-Mbps Switch Ports There are either 16 or 24 RJ-45 connectors on the front panel of the switch. The switches provide 10/100-Mbps switching ports that can sense the 10/100M speed and negotiate full or half-duplex mode automatically. These switching ports allow users to connect the switches to 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices. Cascading to a Switch or Hub Each port supports Auto MDI & MDI-X functionality. When cascading with other switches or hubs, each port can connect directly to a switch or hub with straight through twisted pair cable. Connecting to Desktop Systems By connecting a switch to desktop systems, you can form a small network. To improve network efficiency, use 100-Mbps full-duplex operation between the server and switch if the LAN adapter on the server can operate in fullduplex mode. Mounting Kit Instructions The switch is supplied with mounting brackets and screws for rack mounting, and rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface. Over view 15

RJ-45 10/100-Mbps Switch Ports
There are either 16 or 24 RJ-45 connectors on the front panel of the switch.
The switches provide 10/100-Mbps switching ports that can sense the
10/100M speed and negotiate full or half-duplex mode automatically. These
switching ports allow users to connect the switches to 10Base-T and
100Base-TX devices.
Cascading to a Switch or Hub
Each port supports Auto MDI & MDI-X functionality. When cascading
with other switches or hubs, each port can connect directly to a switch or
hub with straight through twisted pair cable.
Connecting to Desktop Systems
By connecting a switch to desktop systems, you can form a small network.
To improve network efficiency, use 100-Mbps full-duplex operation between
the server and switch if the LAN adapter on the server can operate in full-
duplex mode.
Mounting Kit Instructions
The switch is supplied with mounting brackets and screws for rack
mounting, and rubber feet for stationing it on a flat surface.
