This port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode

(half or full duplex) and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected

automatically, if this feature is also supported by the attached device.

However, note that the interface connection parameters of this port

cannot be configured.

Console Port

The console port on the switch’s front panel is an RJ-45 connection using

a male DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a terminal for

performing switch monitoring and configuration functions. The terminal

may be a PC or workstation running terminal emulation software, or a

terminal configured as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) connection. A

null-modem wired serial cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to

this interface.

SFP Slots

The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with

RJ-45 ports (ports 25~26 on the front panel or ports 27~28 on the

optional modules). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver

(purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port,

the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can

also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as

required.

Note that 1000BASE-SX transceivers use multimode duplex fiber cable,

1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX transceivers use single-mode duplex

fiber cable.
