Ethernet Switch Network Modules
This chapter explains how to install the 16- and 36-port Ethernet switch network modules. The Ethernet
switch network module is a modular, high-density voice network module that provides Layer 2
switching across Ethernet ports. The 16-port Ethernet switch network module has 16 10/100BASE-TX
ports and an optional 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port. The 36-port Ethernet switch network
module has 36 10/100BASE-TX ports and 2 optional 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports. The
36-port Ethernet switch network module requires a double-wide slot. An optional power module can also
be added to provide inline power for IP telephones.
The10/100BASE-TX ports and Gigabit Ethernet ports on the Ethernet switch network module are
connected to the network using RJ-45 connectors on the front panel. The power module is connected to
an external power supply using a power connection cable. The front of the 16-port card is shown in
