C1H124-48 and C1G124-24

The switch functions can be configured using the WebView™ applic ation, CLI switching commands, or SNMP.

Each device can be installed as a tabletop unit or installed into a standard 19-inch rack using the mounting hardware supplied with the rack.

The devices have power supply redundancy capability when connected to an optional external supply. If the resident power supply fails, the external power supply assumes the entire load of the device without interruption to network traffic. Each power supply supports its own ac input connection, which enables each power supply to be connected to a different ac power circuit for power source redundancy.

1.1.1Mini-Gigabit Interface Connectors (Mini-GBICs)

The Mini-GBIC installs into a slot to provide 1000BASE-SX or LX network connections. There are different Mini-GBICs that can provide various types of connectors, such as an MT-RJ connector, LC connector that supports single-mode fiber-optic cabling, or LC connector that supports single or multimode fiber-optic cabling. Refer to Table A-2for a list of supported Mini-GBICs.

1.2HALF-DUPLEX/FULL-DUPLEX AUTO-NEGOTIATION

The devices can auto-negotiate the ports’ mode of operation (half-duplex or full-duplex) between two devices according to IEEE 802.3 standards. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information about their current operating mode. The Auto-Negotiation feature targets the maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. For example, the devices can adjust to full-duplex operation when the device on the other end of the connection can also adjust from half-duplex to full-duplex. If the device on the other end of the connection can only operate in half-duplex mode, then the devices adjust to operate in half-duplex mode.
