communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. This Auto Uplink
technology eliminates the need for setting uplink connections or being concerned about whether
to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices.

SFP module bay
The other twelve ports on GSM7312 can be used with either UTP (RJ45) or SFP (fiber) type cable.
However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. The switch will detect the port in use
automatically simply by the first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged in at the same, the
result is undetermined.
The SFP bay accommodates a standard SFP module which has an SC connector that is compatible with
the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard.
