Introduction
The 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch
The 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch provides non-blocking, wirespeed switching for your 10, 100, and 1000 megabit network clients. Drop this Switch in place of your current workgroup hub or switch, and you can upgrade your high-requirement workstations to full Gigabit speeds as necessary, while continuing to service other clients at their current speeds. Or build your network from the ground up, with appropriate link speeds for each user’s requirements.
Either way, it’s perfect for graphics, multimedia, and other applications that have to move large files across the network quickly. And with the 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, when you need to expand your network even further, its two MiniGBIC ports let you add fiber-optic capability easily and cost effectively.
With the 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch, you can connect your existing 10/100 Ethernet network to a Gigabit server backbone without any additional equipment. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don’t have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automatically negotiates speed and duplex mode. Address learning and aging is supported, as well as 802.3x flow control with head-of-line blocking prevention to keep your high-speed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic. Fast store and forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network. World famous Linksys reliability and the limited lifetime warranty give you peace of mind and the rackmount form factor integrates smoothly into your network infrastructure. Let the Linksys 24Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch kick your network into high gear.

LEDs
System (Green) The System LED will light up when the Switch is powered on.
Link/Act (Green) Each LED will light up when there is a connection made through its corresponding port. It will flash when there is activity on its corresponding port.
Gigabit (Amber) Each LED will light up when there is a Gigabit connection made through its corresponding port. It will flash when there is activity on its corresponding port.
Ports
1-24 The Switch is equipped with 24 auto-sensing RJ 45 ports. These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps 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 and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
To connect a device to a port, you will need to use a network cable. You will need to use Category 5 (or better) cables.
