Device Hardware Interfaces

The following sections describe the ports and buttons found on the smart switch.

RJ-45 Ports

RJ-45 ports are AutoSensing ports. When you insert a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode
(half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only an unshielded
twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or
crossover cables. When you insert a cable into the switch's RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically does the following:
• Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
• Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a "normal" connection (such
as when you are connecting the port to a computer) or an "uplink" connection (such as
when you are connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).
• Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without
requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for
setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or
straight-through cables when you are attaching devices.
