Here are the basic features of the 10/100/1000 Mbps twisted-pair ports:
8, 16 or 24 PoE ports per switch
10BASE-T (IEEE 802.3i), 100BASE-TX (IEEE 802.3u) and
1000BASE-T (IEEE 802.3ab) compliant
IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation compliant
Auto-MDI/MDIX
PoE Plus
Full wire-speed non-blocking
IEEE 802.3x Flow Control in 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX full-duplex
operation
IEEE 802.3x Back Pressure in 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX half-
duplex operation
IEEE803.3z 1000BASE-T Flow Control
Support for jumbo packets up to 10KB
One RJ45 connector on front panel for RS232 console purposes.
The 10GP and 18GP switches have 2 SFP ports, and the 28GP switch
has 4 SFP ports on the front panel. The ports are available for 100 Mbps
or 1000 Mbps of fiber, and 1000 Mbps of copper, and support 100BASE-
FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX transceivers. You need to purchase SFP
transceivers separately. For a list of supported transceivers, contact your
Allied Telesis distributor or reseller.
