LAN Ports

The switch is equipped with 24 auto-sensing RJ-45 LAN ports. These RJ-45 ports support
network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps, and can operate in half and full-duplex
modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the
device connected to it (10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex
mode accordingly.
The switch's RJ-45 ports also support the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) standard that
enables DC power to be supplied to attached devices using wires in the connecting twisted-
pair cable. Any 802.3af-compliant device attached to a port can directly draw power from the
switch over the twisted-pair cable without requiring its own separate power source. This
capability gives network administrators centralized power control for devices such as IP phones
and wireless access points, which translates into greater network availability. For each attached
802.3af-compliant device, the switch automatically senses the load and dynamically supplies
the required power. The switch delivers power to a device using the two data wire pairs in the
twisted-pair cable. Each port can provide up to 15.4 W of power at the standard -48 VDC
