Each 10/100Mbps TP port provides an Auto-Negotiation function and an Auto-Crossover (Auto-MDI/MDIX) function that senses for the attached device's maximum operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Each TP port uses RJ-45 connector that allows network TP cables to be easily attached or removed. Users only need to connect a network device into any TP port and the Switch will do the rest.
2.3.3 Status LEDs This Switch comes with a complete range of LEDs. The table below lists each LED’s name, color and a brief description of its function. One (1) for power On/Off. One (1) per port for Link/Activity. One (1) per port for Full-Duplex/Collision.
The Broadcast Storm Control discards broadcast frames when the number of cumulated non-unicast frames is over the threshold, in order to prevent Network Traffic congestion bringing the Network to a halt. In this Switch, each port will drop broadcast packets (Destination MAC ID is ff ff ff ff ff ff) after receiving continuous 64 broadcast packets. The counter will be reset to 0 every 800ms or when receiving any non-broadcast packets.
LOCATE THE SWITCH Attach the Four (4) rubber feet included in the product package to the bottom of the Switch, one in each corner. Place the Switch on a clean, flat desk or table top close to a power outlet.
