INSTALLING THE NJ220 INTELLIJACK

The 3Com NJ220 IntelliJack is a 4-port, managed Ethernet switch that fits into any standard electrical wall outlet or data port opening. It brings switching capabilities to any single port on an Ethernet network by allowing you to connect up to four networking devices, such as computer, printers, and Voice Over IP (VoIP) telephones to the network via one Ethernet port. You can use optional connectors to connect one or two additional devices to separate network segments through the same IntelliJack. All ports feature 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation.

Power to the IntelliJack is provided through one of the following methods:

•Over the network via an integrated switch that supports Power Over Ethernet

•Over the network via an optional single-port or multi-port Ethernet power supply

•Locally via an optional local power supply

NOTE: Power Over Ethernet, also known as in-line power, is a method to provide power to equipment over an Ethernet cable, allowing a device to receive both data and power from the same network cable. The NJ220 is ideally powered by a switch or other Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) that is IEEE 802.3af-compatible. The NJ220 can also be powered by some switches which are not 802.3af-compatible. Consult the 3Com web site for more information.

You can manage the NJ220 IntelliJack using the included Central Configuration Manager or Web Configuration Manager. You can also use a supported SNMP management console as you would with any managed device on your network, but greater management and control is available through the Configuration Manager software. Management features include:

•Device discovery

•Port status (state, duplex, speed)

•Statistics

•Port control (port state, flow control, AutoMDI(X), frame rate limit)

•802.1P QoS/Priority

•802.1Q compatible VLAN

•VLAN tag add/remove

•Firmware upgrade

•Rate limiting
