Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Introducton Thank you for choosing the 48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView and Power over Ethernet . This Switch will allow you to network better than ever . The 48-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10 and 100 megabit network clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone .
Product Overview Chapter Chapter : ETHERNET 1-48 These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, Product Overvew and can operate in half and full-duplex modes . Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device Front Panel connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly .
Product Overview Chapter MnGBIC (1-) The Switch is equipped with two miniGBIC ports that have shared Gigabit Ethernet ports (G3 and G4) 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) .
Connecting the Switch Chapter Chapter : Full-Duplex Considerations Connectng the Swtch The Switch provides full-duplex support for its RJ-45 ports . Full-duplex operation allows data to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling a port’s potential data Overview throughput . If you will be using the Switch in full-duplex mode, the maximum cable length using Category 5 cable is 328 feet (100 meters) .
