•Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such as when connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink” connection (such as when connecting the port to a router, switch, or hub).

•Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight- through cables when attaching devices.

SFP GBIC Module

The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F, AGM732F, or AGM733 from NETGEAR, allowing fiber connections on the network. The module bay is a combo port, sharing a connection with an RJ-45 port. Being a combo port, only one type of connection can be active at any given time. For example, both copper and fiber port cannot be used at the same time. If both connectors are plugged in at the same time, the fiber port will be active.

The SFP GBIC bay accommodates a standard SFP GBIC module.

Factory Defaults Button

The Smart Switch has a Factory Default button so that you can remove the current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the Factory Default button, all settings, including the password, VLAN settings and port configurations will be removed.
