voltage. To connect a device to a port, you will need to use Category 5 (or better) network
cable.
The Gigabit Expansion Ports
The switch is equipped with two miniGBIC ports that have shared Gigabit Ethernet ports (12
and 24) which provide for the installation of one expansion module. These ports provide links
to high-speed network segments or individual workstations at speeds of up to 1000Mbps
(Gigabit Ethernet). To establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection using a mini-GBIC port, you will
need to install an MGBT1, MGBSX2, or MGBLH1 Gigabit expansion module and use Category 5e
cabling or fiber optic cabling. For more information on fiber optic cabling, see
Appendix A,
.

The Console Port

serial port (for configuration purposes) using the provided serial cable. You can use
HyperTerminal to manage the switch through the console port. With this and many other
Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at
