Introduction Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Module
1-2 Management Module Guide

The 2E43-27 and 2E43-27R provide the same feature set as the 2E42-27 and
2E42-27R but come equipped with two RJ21 connectors to support 24 ports of
switched Ethernet rather than the 24 RJ45’s. This allows the use of Telco
cables in the wiring closets with patch panels to reduce the complexity of cable
management.
All five devices offer RMON, port redirection, broadcast suppression, and full
duplex support on all interfaces, with support for IEEE Auto-Negotiation on
the 100Base-TX ports.
