Device Hardware Interfaces

RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch

automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode

(half-duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded

twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.

To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This

technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or

crossover cables. When inserting a cable into the switch's RJ-45 port, the switch

automatically:

•

Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.

•

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).

•

Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without

requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for

setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or

straight-through cables when attaching devices.

To enable you to have fiber connections on your network, there are two SFP ports that

accommodate standard SFP transceiver modules, which are sold separately. Two SFP ports

are combo ports and share connections with two RJ-45 ports, ports 49 and 50.

Only one type of connection of a combo port can be active at any time. For example, if SFP

port 49 is in use, copper port 49 is not active.

Note:

If both connectors of a combo port are connected to other devices,

only the fiber port is active.
