LED Indicator:
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the Switch and the network (see the
LED Indicators chapter below).
PoE Ports (Ports 1~8):
These ports are PoE Enabled ports, the PoE port will automatically activate when a
compatible terminal is identified, the Switch will supply power through the Ethernet port
to the connected PoE device.
For Legacy devices that are not yet compatible, the PoE port will not offer power to this
device. This feature allows users to freely and safely mix legacy and Power over
Ethernet compatible devices on their network.
These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in
half- and full- duplex transfer modes. These ports also support automatic MDI/MDIX
crossover detection to give true "plug and play" capability. You just need to plug-in the
network cable to the Switch directly, regardless of if the end node is a NIC (Network
Interface Card) or a switch and a hub.
Ethernet Ports (Port 9~16):
These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in
