INTRODUCTION
About This Guide:
Thank you for purchasing the 3Com
high quality, Gigabit Ethernet Switch is an easy, efficient way of creating or expanding
an existing network and managing it centrally. The Switch's Gigabit ports provide sup-
port for bandwidth intensive applications, and allow high speed connections to servers,
and to the rest of the network. An example configuration is shown in Figure 1.
GreenConnect
Your OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch employs a number of initiatives to ensure your
product uses the least amount of power possible:
1. High Efficiency Power Adapter
The Power Adapter is a model specially designed to meet the Energy Star
ments for operating efficiency and also very low standby power when not connected
to the switch. These two features ensures your power adapter now uses substantially
less power than a conventional linear adapter.
2. Energy Saving Modes
Your OfficeConnect Gigabit Switch employs the latest technology to minimise the
amount of power it consumes.
When a port on the switch is not connected to a cable, or the link partner is turned
off or removed, the switch reduces the power on that port until it is connected again.
Also the switch detects the length of cable connected to its port and optimizes the
power on the port to reach the end device. Thus for shorter cables lengths it will
reduce the power output thereby achieving further reduction in power consumption.
You can be confident that your Switch will be taking the least amount of power but
still providing the performance that you have come to expect from OfficeConnect.
The Switch is compact and attractively designed for desktop use. It can be used with
other units in the OfficeConnect family, which include Cable/DSL gateways, wireless
devices, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet switches. The OfficeConnect family is a
fully integrated system, enabling you to share computer resources, and take advantage
of new technologies as your network grows.
