WebView Switches

Ports

1-8

The Switch is equipped with 8 auto-sensing, Ethernet network ports, which use RJ-45

 

connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support network speeds of 10Mbps or 100Mbps.

 

They 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 (10Mbps or 100Mbps),

 

and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.

Console

The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for

 

configuration using your PC’s HyperTerminal program. Refer to Chapter 4: Using the

 

Console Interface for Configuration for more information.
