LED Indicator

Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch and the network (see the following “LED Indicators” chapter).

Fast Ethernet Ports (Ports 1-24)

These ports support network speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, and can operate in half and full duplex transfer modes. These ports also supports automatic MDI/MDIX crossover detection function and give true “plug-and-play” capability. Just plug in the network cable to the hub directly. The end node may be a Network Interface Card (NIC), switch, or hub.

Gigabit Ethernet Ports (Ports 25–26)

The GX5-424W switch is equipped with two Gigabit twisted pair ports, supporting auto-negotiable 10/100/1000 Mbps and auto MDI/MDIX crossover detection function. These two ports can operate in half duplex mode for 10/100 Mbps and full duplex mode for 10/100/1000 Mbps.

SFP Mini-GBIC Ports (Ports 27–28)

The GX5-424W switch is equipped with 2 SFP Mini-GBIC ports and a supporting optional 1000BaseSX/LX SFP Mini-GBIC module.

Note: When the port is set to “Forced Mode,” the Auto MDI/MDIX will be disabled.

GX5-448W Front Panel
