Hardware Description

Front Panel
The front panel of the GSM2109/1009 switch consists of nine auto-sensing
10/100/1000Base-TX RJ45 ports and one mini GBIC slot. The ninth
10/100/1000Base-TX port shares the slot with the mini GBIC. So, if the GBIC is used,
the ninth 10/100/1000Bse-TX port is inactive. Therefore, the GSM2109/1009 provides
nine usable ports. You have the choice of using the ninth port in copper or fiber. The
LED indicators are also located on the front panel of the switch.
The console connection is also on the front panel of the switch. The console port can
be used to perform management functions. Console connection requires a direct
connection between the switch and a workstation with a RS-232 cable.
