IDENTIFYING EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
This chapter describes the front panel, rear panel, and LED indicators
of the Switch.
Front Panel
The figure below shows the front panels of the Switch.

LED Indicator:
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and
the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below).
PoE Ports (Port 1~8):
These ports are PoE Enable ports, the PoE port will automatically
activated when a compatible terminal is identified, the Switch will
supply power through the Ethernet port to the connected PoE device.
For the Legacy devices that are not yet compatible, the PoE port will
not offer the power to this device. This feature allows users to freely
and safely mix legacy and Power over LAN 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 supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function
gives true "plug and play" capability, just need to plug-in the network
cable to the hub directly and don't care if the end node is NIC
(Network Interface Card) or switch and hub.
