3.1.1 Console Port

For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software configured
to the following parameters:
• VT100 terminal emulation
• 9600 bps
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
• No flow control
Connect the male 9-pin end of the console cable to the console port of the Switch. Connect the
female end to a serial port (COM1, COM2 or other COM port) of your computer.

3.1.2 Ethernet Ports

The Switch has 24 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/
100Mbps Fast Ethernet, the speed can be 10Mbps or 100Mbps and the duplex mode can be
half duplex or full duplex.
The Switch also comes with two pairs of Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC ports. The mini-GBIC
ports have priority over the Gigabit ports. This means that if a mini-GBIC port and the
corresponding Gigabit port are connected at the same time, the Gigabit port will be disabled.
The speed of the Gigabit Ethernet ports can be 100Mbps or 1000Mbps and the duplex mode
can be half duplex (at 100 Mbps) or full duplex.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed and duplex
mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or
crossover Ethernet cable.
3.1.2.1 Default Ethernet Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the Switch are:
• Speed: Auto
• Duplex: Auto

DESCRIPTION
Connect these ports to a computer or switch.
Connect these ports to high-bandwidth backbone network Ethernet switches or use
them to daisy-chain other switches. Use 1000Base-T compatible Category 5/5e/6
copper cables.
Use mini-GBIC transceivers in these slots for fiber-optic connections to backbone
network Ethernet switches or use them to daisy-chain other switches.
The 24 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ethernet ports are compliant with the IEEE 802.3af power
over Ethernet standard.
