Connecting To Network Backbone or Server

The two Mini-GBIC combo ports are ideal for unlinking to a network backbone or server. The copper
ports operate at a speed of 1000, 100 or 10Mbps in full or half duplex mode. The fiber optic ports can
operate at 1000Mbps in full duplex mode.
Connections to the Gigabit Ethernet ports are made using fiber optic cable or Category 5 copper cable,
depending on the type of port. A valid connection is indicated when the Link LED is lit.
