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 be automatically
activated when a compatible terminal is identified, and 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 the power to these devices. 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 support the automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function,
providing true "plug and play" capability. Just plug-in the network
cable to the hub directly and regardless if the end node is a NIC
(Network Interface Card) or switch and hub.
