LED Indicator:
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the LED
Indicators section below).
Fast Ethernet Ports (Port 1~24):
These ports support network speeds of 10Mbps and 100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full-duplex
transfer modes. These ports also support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover functionality providing true
“plug and play” capability. You only have to a device to the switch using a straight-through cable,
regardless of whether the device is a computer, switch and hub.
Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Port 25~26):
The Switch is equipped with two Gigabit twisted pair ports, supported auto negotiable
10/100/1000Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection function. These two ports can operate in
half-duplex mode for 10/100Mbps and full-duplex mode for 10/100/1000Mbps.
Mini-GBIC Ports (Port 25~26):
The Switch is equipped with two mini-GBIC ports, supporting standard fiber mini-GBIC modules.
These ports use the same ports as the gigabit Ethernet ports. When a mini-GBIC module is plugged
into the switch, the corresponding gigabit Ethernet port will be disabled.

AC Power Connector:
This is a three-pronged connector that supports the power cord. Plug in the female connector of the
provided power cord into this connector, and the male into a power outlet. Supported input voltage
range is 100-240V AC at 50-60Hz.
