Connect to the Data Ports

Twenty-Four 10/100 Mbps RJ-45 Ports
The switch is equipped with twenty-four 10/100
Mbps RJ-45 port that provide IEEE802.3at Power
over Ethernet (PoE), with up to 30 Watts per
port (50 - 57VDC, 600mA Max.) These ports can
be connected to PoE devices such as IP
surveillance cameras or Voice Over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) phones.
Insert one end of a Category 5 or better
A.
Ethernet cable into a switch port.
Connect the other end into the Ethernet port
B.
of the device.
Repeat steps A and B for each additional
C.
device you want to connect to the switch.
Two 1 Gbps Combo/SFP Ports
The switch provides two 1 Gbps combo/SFP
interfaces as RJ-45 ports and SFP ports. These
ports can connect to network devices such as a
computer, printer, network video recorder

(NVR), network storage, or they can connect to
the network itself.
RJ-45 ports accommodate Category 5 or better
Ethernet cables. SFP ports accommodate
standard SFP modules; wear an ESD-preventive
wrist strap before connecting SFP modules.
These 1 Gbps interface combo ports operate in
"either/or" fashion. This means that attaching to
either a 1 Gbps RJ-45 or SFP port renders the
equivalent partner 1 Gbps port unavailable. See
the examples below.
