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.

G1

The Gigabit Ethernet port supports network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps.

 

It can operate in half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables the port to

 

automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it (10Mbps, 100Mbps, or

 

1000Mbps), and adjust its speed and duplex accordingly.

G2

The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter) port is a connection point for a mini-GBIC

 

expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. The MiniGBIC

 

port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds

 

of up to 1000Mbps.

 

Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 mini-GBIC modules with the Switch. The

 

MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC connectors, while the MGBT1

 

requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.

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.
