Page 11: Chapter 1 Getting To Know The Switch
Dimension GS-1116/GS-1124 Gigabit Switch Chapter 1 Getting to Know the Switch This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the switch. Introduction The switch is designed for the campus or building environment as a high bandwidth backbone. The GS-1116 has 16 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports. -
Page 12: Features
Dimension GS-1116/GS-1124 Gigabit Switch Both ports 15 and 16 in the GS-1116 (or 23 and 24 in the GS-1124) support 3.3V Mini GBIC. The GBIC port auto detects between Giga copper and Mini GBIC. The Mini GBIC module is optional. When the Mini GBIC module is not installed, these act as Giga copper connections. -
Page 13: Package Contents
Dimension GS-1116/GS-1124 Gigabit Switch When the Mini GBIC module is installed, the Mini GBIC (Giga fiber) port has higher priority than Giga copper port. When the Mini GBIC port is connected, the Giga copper port is disabled. Package Contents Compare the contents of your GS-1116/GS-1124 Gigabit Switch package with the checklist below. If any item is missing or damaged, please contact your local dealer. -
