2.2.1 Ports Speed
n 100Base-TX
All 100Base-TX ports come with auto-negotiation capability. They automatically support 100Base-TX and 10Base-T networks. Users only need to plug a working network device into one of the 100Base-TX ports, then turn on the hub. The port will automatically runs in 10Mbps, 20Mbps, 100Mbps or 200Mbps after the negotiation with the connected device. Port speed adjustment is also available through console port.
n 100Base-FX
The port 16/24 can be a 100Base-FX fiber-optic port as the extension module installed (rear) At the mean time, the RJ45 port of #16/24 will being disabled. The Half-/Full-Duplex is selectable by the DIP-switch on the module. Please refer to the installation guide of the extension module for more.
2.2.2 Cabling
NOVASwitch 100Base-TX ports use RJ-45 sockets -- similar to phone jacks -- for connection of unshielded twisted-pair cable (UTP). The IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard requires Category 5 UTP for 100Mbps 100Base-TX. 10Base-T networks can use Cat.3, 4, or 5 UTP (see table A below)

Each numbered port of the Switch are MDI-X port, you can direct use straight cable for the connection to your end nodes. However, port 12/20 is with one push button. To push the button to convert the port to MDI-II port for direct hub cascade. Please also refer to Section “RJ-45 Pin Assignment” for more.
2.2.4 Status LEDs
One green LED to show power On/Off is on the front panel, and one “Module Installed” LED indicator to indicate the rear open slot is installed with a fiber-optic module. Also, each port has three status LED indicators, as shown below.

2.3.1 Extension Slot
The Switch port 16/24 can be a 100Base-FX switching port as the extension module installed. As the module installed, the port 16/24 on the front panel will be disabled.
Please refer to the Installation Guide of the module for the detailed installation and settings.
NOTE: While powering on, The Switch detects the DIPswitch status of the module, then shown on the front panel LED indicators
2.3.2 Power Connector
The Power Connector is designed to use with the power cord included in the product package. Attach the female end of the cord to the power connector and the male end of the cord to a grounded power outlet. The accepted power range is from 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60Hz.
2.3.3 Fan
All computing and communications devices work best when not overheated. Please keep the fan area clear so that the cooling function is not impaired.
