Thank you for choosing the Cisco SG 100D-08 Unmanaged Switch, a Cisco Small Business network communications device.
This guide will familiarize you with the layout of the unmanaged switch and describe how to deploy the device in your network. For additional information, see www.cisco.com/smb.
All ports support network speed auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X crossover detection. Network speed auto-negotiation automatically selects the best connection speed and mode (halfor full-duplex) for communicating with attached devices. Auto MDI/MDI-X crossover detection automatically adjusts for the cable type (straight-through or crossover) used to connect the unmanaged switch to other devices.
The Cisco SG 100D-08 delivers Quality of Service (QoS); all received packets are examined for QoS priority encoding. The switch reads the priority level and forwards the packet based on that priority level. For example, during heavy loads voice and video traffic are given priority over data traffic. (The switch is configured to comply with 802.1p, VLAN tagged frames.) This ensures that time-sensitive traffic gets the highest level of service.

This section describes the exterior of the unmanaged switch.
The LEDs are located on the front panel of the switch.
System LED—(Green) This LED lights up and remains lit when the switch is powered on. When the LED is off, nothing is cabled to the port. Or there is a device connected to the port, but there is a problem with the cable or the connected device.
LEDs 1-8—(Green) Each LED lights up when a connection is made through its corresponding port. The LED flashes when the corresponding port is active.

Ethernet Port—The unmanaged switch is equipped with auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3) ports used for wired network communications. Autosensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed and duplex settings of the device connected to it, and adjust its speed and duplex settings to match the settings of the connected device. Each Ethernet port accepts an RJ-45 connector.
