Network Connections:

The AMS-2616P supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet; 10/100 Mbps half/full-
duplex mode and 1000 Mbps full-duplex mode. All RJ-45 ports support Auto MDI/
MDIX and can be used as ordinary ports or as Uplink ports. Any RJ-45 port can be
used to connect the AMS-2616P to an Ethernet enabled device (including servers,
routers, and other switches) without a crossover cable.

The AMS-2616P offers 2 RJ-45/SFP combo ports for expansion. This allows for
the use of standard Ethernet cable or Gigabit optical fiber for network expansion.
If using optical fiber, Gigabit SFP modules are required (Not Included). Once the
Gigabit SFP optical modules are inserted, these interfaces can support optical fiber
cables to extend the Gigabit network—enabling the network to reach beyond the
300 foot limitation of twisted pair Ethernet.

For the RJ-45 ports, Category-5, super Category-5 or Category-6 unshielded twisted
pair (CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 UTP) should be used.

NOTE: For best results, it is recommended that Category-6 shielded

twisted pair be used to ensure stable data transmission at 1000 Mbps.

Optical fiber/cable should be selected based on the wavelength of the SFP
optical module to be used.

Make sure only one Uplink channel exists between switches or between the AMS-
2616P and a router. Otherwise, loops can occur and result in network failure.
