Console Port; Power Connector; Switch Features - HP ProCurve Series 2600 Installation And Getting Started Manual

Console Port

This port is used to connect a console to a Series 2600 Switch by using the
serial cable supplied with each switch. This connection is described under
"8. (Optional) Connect a Console to the Switch" on page 30
"Installing the Series 2600 Switches." The console can be a PC or workstation
running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal.

Power Connector

The Series 2600 Switches do not have a power switch; they are powered on
when connected to an active AC power source. The switches automatically
adjust to any voltage between 100-240 volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. There are
no voltage range settings required.

Switch Features

The features of the Series 2600 Switches include:
8, 24, or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports with HP Auto-MDIX.
dual-personality ports—either the auto sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45
or the mini-GBIC can be used for each port.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation—the 2600-PWR Series switches are
IEEE 802.3af compliant and provide up to 15.4W per port to power IP
phones, wireless access points, web cameras, and more. For more infor­
mation, see the POE Planning and Implementation Guide, which is on
the Documentation CD-ROM that is included with your switch.
The 2600-8-PWR switch supports some pre-standard PoE devices, for a
current list see the FAQ page for the 2600-8-PWR Switch, which can be
found on the ProCurve Web site, http://www.procurve.com, Technical
Support, FAQs (all).
plug-and-play networking—all ports are enabled—just connect the
network cables to active network devices and your switched network is
operational.
HP Auto-MDIX on all 10/100 twisted-pair ports, and IEEE 802.3ab Auto
MDI/MDI-X on all 10/100/1000 twisted-pair ports, meaning that all
twisted-pair connections can be made using straight-through
cables. Cross-over cables are not required, although they will also work.
automatic learning of the network addresses in each switch's 8000­
address forwarding table, (with configurable address aging value).
