Key features

ASUS Green Network Technology features two power saving functions:

•

Link down mode

The Ethernet port powers down to the standby mode when no link is detected

on it.

•

Cable length detection

Each Ethernet port on the switch automatically detects the length of the cable

plugged to it and adjusts the power it consumes. Shorter cables require less
power.

Package contents

Before installing the GX-D1241 switch, check your package for the following items.

• ASUS GX-D1241 switch x1

• AC power cable x1

• Quick Start Guide x1

• Rack mounting kit x1 (2 brackets, 6 screws)

• Warranty Card x1

NOTE:

Contact your retailer if any of the items is damaged or missing.

Connecting to network devices

NOTE:

• Use either cross-over or straight-through cables to connect other
network devices such as PCs, bridges, switches, hubs, and repeaters.

• The length of the network cables should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Connecting to end nodes

The GX-D1241 switch is used as a standalone switch to connect end nodes such
as PCs and printers and form a small workgroup. With auto MDI/MDIX capability,
each Ethernet port on this switch automatically detects the type of cable plugged to
it and adjusts itself to the speed and duplex of the device to which it is connected.

The STATUS LED lights green or blinks green when a valid link is established on
the corresponding port.

Powering on

The GX-D1241 switch works with AC power supply 100-240V, 50/60Hz and adjusts
to the power supply at your location automatically. You can turn on the switch
without any network devices connected to it.

To power on the GX-D1241 switch:

1. Connect the female plug of the AC power cable to the power connector on
the rear panel of the switch.

2. Connect the male plug of the AC power cable to a suitable AC power outlet.

主要特色

華碩綠色網路技術（ASUS Green Network Technology）具備兩個省電功能：

• Link down 模式

當未偵測到乙太網路連接埠連接時，會自動將電源切換成待機模式。

• 網路線長度偵測

交換器的每個乙太網路連接埠會自動偵測連接於該連接埠的網路線長度並依據該

長度調節所需電源。較短的網路線需要較少電力。
