Minigbic/Twisted Pair Combo Ports; Figure 2-3. Warning! Do Not Create Redundant Paths Between Network Devices - NETGEAR ProSafe FSM7326P Hardware Installation Manual

•
Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a "normal" connection (such as when
connecting the port to a PC) or an "uplink" connection (such as when connecting the port to a
router, switch, or hub)
•
After determining this information, the switch automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable
communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. This Auto Uplink
technology eliminates the need for setting uplink connections or being concerned about whether
to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices.

MiniGBIC/Twisted Pair Combo Ports

Port 25 and 26 are miniGBIC/twisted pair ports, meaning each of these ports can be connected through
either the miniGBIC or the RJ-45 interface. However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. If
both are plugged in, the fiber should be active and the copper should be inactive.
The miniGBIC bay accommodates a standard SFP module which has an SC connector that is compatible
with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard.
