Back Panel
The Ethernet ports are located on the back panel of the switch.
Port 1—This port supports the IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) PD
standard, which enables a system to receive data and supply electrical power to
the switch over a standard twisted-pair cable in an Ethernet network. Any 802.3af-
compliant PSE device, such as a PoE switch, can directly supply power to the
switch. Simply connect a standard twisted-pair cable from a PoE switch to Port 1
on the switch. Using PoE to power the switch eliminates the need to use the power
adapter and AC power.
To connect a device to a port, use a Category 5 network cable.
Ports 1-8—These RJ-45 ports support network speeds of either 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps and can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-
sensing technology enables each port to automatically detect the speed of the
device connected to it and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.
Side Panels
The reset button and power port are located on the right side panel of the switch.
