2.3.1 1000BASE-T The switch is primarily used for network backbone connections. For the 1000BASE-T TP port, it provides an Auto-Negotiation function that senses for the attached device's maximum operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Users only need to connect a network cable into any TP port, and the Auto-Negotiation function will do the rest.

2.3.2 Cabling 1000Mbps - To transmit at 1000Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling that must use all Four (4)

pairs twisted-pair wire for RJ-45 connector.

100Mbps - To transmit at 100Mbps requires Category 5 TP cabling. 10Mbps - When transmitting at 10Mbps Category 3, 4 or 5 TP cabling with RJ-45 sockets can be

used.

Port Type Cable Type Connector 1000BASE-T Cat.5 TP RJ-45 100BASE-TX Cat.5 TP RJ-45 10BASE-T Category 3, 4 or 5 TP RJ-45

Note: Category 5 TP cable recommended whenever installing new cabling. To transmit at 1000Mbps requires Category 5 TP cable using Four (4) pairs Twisted-Pair wire.

2.3.3 Status LEDs The Switch comes with a complete range of LEDs. The table below lists each LEDs name, color and a brief description of its function.

2.4.1 Power Socket The Power Socket is designed to be used with the power cord included in the product package. Attach the female end of the power cord to the male power connector on the back panel. Attach the male end of the power cord to a grounded power outlet.

2.4.2 Network Ports The Switch provides Four (4) / Eight (8) 1000Base-T/100Base-TX/10Base-T (RJ-45 connector) ports.

2.4.3 Console Port The console port interface conforms to the RS-232 electrical specification. This interface supports asynchronous data of Eight (8) data bits, One (1) stop bit, and no parity bit. The unit only operates at 9600bps rates for 4-Port’s and 9600bps rates for 8-Port’s with RS-232 cable in system configure.
