DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter.
Since the switch does not include a power switch, plugging its power adapter
into a power outlet will immediately power it on.
Auto-MDI-X Function ports: Use these jacks (port1 ~ port-7) for DES-1008F,
DES-1008FL/PRO, DES-1008FR/PRO to connect stations to the hub. An Auto-
MDI-X function will automatically detect if a crossover is required and make the
swap of TX pair and Rx pair internally. With this function, straight-through cable
can be used for any connection. MDI to MDI-X connection rule is not necessary
anymore. In the switches, all TX ports are equipped with this function. You can
use just straight-through type cables for all your connections.
