Front Panel Components

10/100/1000BASE-T Ports (1-8)

The NXA-ENET8-2POE contains 8 RJ-45 ports on the front panel (FIG. 2):
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports (1-8)
FIG. 2
These port (1-8) operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full duplex, and 1000 Mbps full duplex. Because all ports on the NXA-
ENET8-2POE support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs (see the1000BASE-T Pin Assignments section on page 32).
Each of these ports supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10,

100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-
negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.
Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the NXA-ENET8-2POE can automatically prevent

port buffers from becoming saturated.

SFP Transceiver Slots (9-10)

The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are independent ports (FIG. 3):

Port and System Status LEDs

The NXA-ENET8-2POE includes a LED display panel on the front panel for key system and port indications that simplify installation
and network troubleshooting (FIG. 4):
