1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Product Briefs The switch is a un-management layer 2 10/100/1000Mbps switch; it provide dedicated 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps Ethernet bandwidth on each port. The ports will automatically detect the speed, duplex and MDI/MDIX status of the device it is connecting to, and adjust these settings accordingly.
Gigabit Ethernet is an extension of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet utilizing the same packet structure, format, and support for CSMA/CD protocol, full duplex, flow control, and management objects, but with a tenfold increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a company’s existing investment in hardware, software and trained personnel.
2.Rear Panel The figure below shows the rear panel of the Switch. There is a AC inlet in the 5/8-Port switch rear panel. 5-Port Gigabit Switch Rear Panel 8-Port Gigabit Switch Rear Panel Auto MDI/MDI-X Ports: All ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. The AutoMDI/MDI-X function makes it simple to connect to the switch—just plug either a Crossover or Straight-Through CAT5 cable into any port.

3. Connecting the switch Cable Quality For all connections to the Switch, use these rules to determine the Cable quality. For connections to 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use Category 5 or 5e UTP/STP cable. For connections to 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX devices, use Category 5e or better UTP/STP cable.
