Description of Hardware
10/100BASE-T Ports
The SMC6824MPE switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
RJ-45 ports. All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can
use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or
to other switches or hubs. (See "10/100BASE-TX Pin Assignments" on
page B-2.)
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission
mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected
automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support
auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured
manually.
Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so
the switch can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
1000BASE-T/SFP Ports
These are combination Gigabit RJ-45 ports with shared Small Form Factor
Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. If an SFP transceiver (purchased
separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on the port, the associated
RJ-45 port is disabled.
The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation,
so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See "1000BASE-T Pin Assignments"
on page B-4.)
Neither the 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports nor the SFP slots support PoE
