The ESW 540-24/24P and ESW 540-48 use shared ports. When connecting to
uplink ports, the GE ports take precedence over the Copper ports. For example,
on an ESW 540-24, if you plug a device into GE1, you cannot use port 11. The other
port relationships are shown in the following table:

on the next page:
# Port Description
1
Switch The switch is equipped with auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3) network ports
Ports which use RJ-45 connectors. The Ethernet ports support network
speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. They can operate in half
and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to
automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it, and adjust
its speed and duplex accordingly. These ports are typically used for
devices such as PCs, servers, IP phones and Access Points., and are
highlighted
2
Uplink These ports are typically used for connecting to other switches, routers,
Ports or network backbone devices, and are highlighted in
examples. The mini-GBIC ports are a type of uplink port.
3
mini- The mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) port is a connection point for
GBIC a mini-GBIC expansion module, allowing the switch to be uplinked via
Ports fiber to another switch. Each mini-GBIC port provides a link to a high-
speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to
1000 Mbps. The mini-GBIC ports are highlighted in
examples.
