24-port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView RJ-45 Ports The Switch is equipped with twenty-four auto-sensing RJ-45 ports. These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or 100Mbps, and can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps or 100Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly. To connect a device to a port, you will need to use a network cable.
24-port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView Chapter 3: Connecting the Switch Overview This chapter will explain how to connect network devices to the Switch. For an example of a typical network configuration, see the application diagram shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1: Typical Network Configuration When you connect your network devices, make sure you don’t exceed the maximum cabling distances, which are listed in the following table: Maximum Cabling Distances.
24-port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView Pre-Installation Considerations Fast Ethernet Considerations If you will be using the Switch for Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) applications, you must observe the following guidelines: Full-Duplex Considerations As previously mentioned, the Switch provides full-duplex support for its RJ-45 ports. Full-duplex operation allows data to be sent and received simultaneously, doubling a port’s potential data throughput.
24-port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to connect additional devices. 5. If you are using the Gigabit port, connect a Category 5e Ethernet network cable to the Gigabit port on the Switch, and connect the other end to a Gigabit server or other network device. 6. If you are using the mini-GBIC port, then connect the mini-GBIC module to the mini-GBIC port. For detailed instructions, refer to the module’s documentation.
