Product Specification

PN28160K-ID

1. Summary

Switch-M16eG is an all Giga bit Ethernet Switching Hub with management function having 14 ports of
10/100/1000BASE-T and two pairs of 10/100/1000BASE-T port and SFP extension slot, one of which is selectable.

2. Feature

（1） Has wire-speed Layer 2 switching function.

（2） Ports 1 to 14 are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to auto-negotiation.

Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
Ports 15 and 16 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port corresponding to auto-negotiation or an SFP extension slot
exclusively.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.

（3） All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function.

Simply connect devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a network device.
(This function does not work if the port communication configuration is set at Fixed or Link Aggregation.
Ports 1 to 14 are set at MDI-X. (default))

（4） Has a loop detection function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the corresponding port LED and automatically

shuts down the looped port.

401-28160K-ID-SP02

Page 1 of 10

（5） Has a loop detection history function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the corresponding LED and enables a network

administrator to identify the looped port after the loop is removed.

（6） Fan less design solves noise problem or fan failure.

（7） Due to the ECO mode LED function, Port LED lamps (left) can be turned off to reduce power consumption.

（8） The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.

（9） Has an internet mansion function, which ensures security between each port.

（10） Due to the loop detection/shutoff function, a port where loop has occurred can be automatically shut off to prevent loop failures.

When a port is shut off and recovered automatically, SNMP trap can be sent to notify the incident to the administrator.
Moreover, the port with a loop can be identified by loop notification on the LEDs on the main unit and referring the history
of loop on the setting screen.

（11） Has a port grouping function, which groups ports that are allowed to communicate with one another to limit communications

between different groups.

（12） Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az (LPI).

When there is no data transmission at link up, the energy-saving state automatically starts so that power consumption
can be reduced on each port.

（13） Using Embedded power-saving mode, connection status is automatically detected and power consumption is minimized.

（14） Supports IEEE802.1Q tagging VLAN. Up to 256 groups of VLAN can be registered.

（15） Supports IEEE802.1X user authentication function (EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP).

（16） Supports ZEQUO assist Plus. Processes from introduction to maintenance can be performed easily.

Display of each port
is refer to table 1
of No.4 .

You can display the following items using the LED display change button.
Display for the connection with a connected terminal (Status mode), Display for
the 1000 Mbps transmission rate (GIGA mode) , Display for the 100Mbps or 10 Mbps
transmission rate (Speed mode), Display for the full-duplex or half-duplex
transmission system (DUPLEX mode), Display for ports with a loop history (Loop
history mode), All port LED lamps can be turned OFF (ECO mode).

The mode at the start is called “Base mode”.
There are two types of Base modes : Status mode (factory default setting) and
ECO mode. You can change the Base mode by holding down the LED display change
button (for at least 3 sec).
When the Base mode is changed normally, all STATUS/ECO , GIGA , 100M , and
FULL LED lamps light up at the same time. When you release the button, the Base
mode is changed to the selected mode.
If the mode is changed to the GIGA mode, Speed mode , DUPLEX mode, or
Loop History mode and the LED display switch button is not used for one minute or
longer, the mode automatically returns to a Base mode (Status mode or ECO mode).
The Base mode is maintained even after the power is turned OFF.

12. Basic Instructions for the Use of This Product

Handle the Switching Hub carefully so that fingers or hands may not be damaged by twisted pair port, SFP extension slot,

（1）

console port, or power cord hook block.

（2） Do not connect any other devices except for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T devices to the twisted pair ports.

Deviation could lead to equipment failure.

（3） Do not mount any other modules except for the separately sold SFP module (PN54021K/PN54023K) to the SFP extension

slots.

（4） Unplug the power plug when there is a malfunction.

12. Basic Instructions for the Use of This Product

（6） Use the bundled power cord (AC 100 – 240 V specifications).

Deviation could lead to electric shock, malfunction, and/or equipment failure.

（7） Unplug the power cord in case of equipment failure.

Deviation, such as keeping connected for a long time, could lead to fire.

（8） Connect this Switching Hub to ground.

Deviation could lead to electric shock, malfunction, and/or equipment failure.

（9） Connect the power cord firmly to the power port.

Deviation could lead to electric fire, shock, and/or malfunction.

（10） Unplug the power cord if the STATUS LED blinks in orange (system fault).

Deviation, such as keeping connected for a long time, could lead to fire.

（11） This Switching Hub is to be periodically serviced in order to maintain its performance.

Please choose a product administrator, and have them be sure to implement periodic maintenance. When doing maintenance,
check the inspection chart that is posted on our website which has the requisite items listed on it.

（12） When using this Switching Hub to design systems, use it after applying appropriate measures such as setting up

redundant configurations.
Communications failures might be generated due to causes such as malfunctions or misoperations while the Switching Hub is
being used.

401-28160K-ID-SP02

Page 10 of 10

（13） When using this Switching Hub for applications which require extremely high reliability, be careful to expend all possible

means to ensure safety and reliability.

This Switching Hub was not designed nor manufactured with the intention that it be used for applications (in use with railways,

aviation, and medical care, etc. whereas the influence rate due to communications failures is extremely high in regard to

systems that directly affect systems and human lives) which require extremely high reliability.

（14） It is strongly recommended that a lightning arrester (SPD) be installed on the twisted pair port side and the power supply side

of this Switching Hub.
Malfunctions might be caused due to overcurrent and overvoltage due to the effects of lightning strikes.

(15) It is recommended that this Switching Hub be replaced about five years after it has been installed.

This may vary depending upon conditions such as utilisation rates and usage environments, but performance might decrease

due to the age-related degradation, etc. of components.

(16) Be careful in regards to environmental restrictions whereby the Switching Hub can be used.

Please isolate the business power lines and communications lines. Isolate distribution lines and other distribution lines,
and low current power lines, optical fiber cables, metallic water conduits, and gas conduits, etc. Noise may be generated in
the communications lines which might cause communications glitches.
