Installation Guide Gigabit Ethernet Switch Series JGS500 Start Here The NETGEAR JGS516 16-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch and JGS524 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch provide you with a low-cost, high performance network solution, designed to support power workgroups operating at speeds from 10 megabits per second (Mbps) to 1000 Mbps. Gigabit Ethernet switches provide 10 times the bandwidth that Fast Ethernet switches do, boosting the speed at which files, voice, video, imaging, or other applications move across your network. Each of the JGS500 series switches offer both non-blocking performance to maximize your network throughput and plug-and-play simplicity to use it. Every port negotiates to the highest supported speed, enabling you to mix legacy Ethernet gear with newer products on one network. This simplifies your upgrade to a complete gigabit network and keeps the project within your budget. 10/100/1000 Mbps ports 16 PORT 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch Green=1000M, Yellow=100M 1234 Speed 5678 Link/Act PWR 9 10 11 12 Speed 13 14 15 16 Link/Act 1 2 3 4 9 10 11 12 5 6 7 8 13 14 15 16 MODELJGS516 Auto Uplink JGS516 16-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch 10/100/1000 Mbps ports 24 PORT 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch Green=1000M, Yellow=100M Speed 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Link/Act Speed PWR 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Link/Act 1 2 3 4 13 14 15 16 5 6 7 8 17 18 19 20 9 10 11 12 MODELJGS524 21 22 23 24 Auto Uplink JGS524 24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch LEDs Label Color Activity Description PWR (Power) Green On Power is supplied to the Switch Off Power is disconnected Speed Green On The port is operating in 1000 Mbps mode Yellow On The port is operating in 100 Mbps mode Off Off The port is operating in 10 Mbps mode Link/Activity Green Solid Valid link on the port Blinking Packet transmission or receiving on the port Network Port All ports on the switch are 10/100/1000 Mbps capable ports that auto negotiate for speed, and duplex. Additionally, all ports have Auto Uplink™ to make the right connection. Auto Uplink™ The Auto Uplink technology that Netgear has included in this product will automatically sense whether the straight-through cable plugged into any port should have a "normal" connection, e.g., connecting to a PC; or an "uplink" connection, e.g. connecting to a router, switch, or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection. Note: Auto Uplink will compensate for setting uplink connections, and crossover or straight-through cables. Using Auto Uplink to create multiple paths between any two network devices will disable your network. Applications Desktop Switching Model JGS516/JGS524 Gigabit Ethernet Switch is used as a desktop switch to build a small network that enables users to have 1000 Mbps access to file servers. Due to the the full-duplex nature of Gigabit Ethernet, each connection will actually move 2000 Mbps of data (1000 Mbps in each direction).
