CONNECTIVITY

The 1H582-xx connect to Ethernet networks and workstations through the fixed front panel RJ45
connectors. The ports support Category 5 cables with lengths of 100 meters (328 ft.). The ports are
IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX compliant.
The 1H582-xx have expansion slots for optional Ethernet expansion modules. The 1H582-25 has
one expansion slot, while the 1H582-51 has three expansion slots (1, 2, and 3). Depending on the
Ethernet expansion module installed, the uplinks can be
•
Fast Ethernet 10/100 Mbps via RJ45 connectors,
•
Fast Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps (10/100 in auto mode only) via RJ45 connectors,
•
Ethernet 100 Mbps multimode fiber-optic via MT-RJ connectors, or
•
Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbps via short or long wavelength GBIC or fiber-optic connections.
Figure 1-2 shows the Ethernet expansion modules available at the time of this printing and the
location of Port 1 in each module.
and the type of physical connections.
CAUTION: The expansion modules are NOT hot-swappable. The switch must be
powered down before the expansion modules are installed or removed. Hot-swapping
the expansion modules while the switch is powered on could cause the device to stop
forwarding frames.
