WebView Switches

For the 16-Port Switch, ports 8 and 16 are shared with miniGBIC1 and miniGBIC2, respectively. For the 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch, ports 12 and 24 are shared with miniGBIC1 and miniGBIC2, respectively.

NOTE: If shared ports are both connected, then the miniGBIC port has priority.

miniGBIC1/2	The Switch provides two mini-GBIC ports. 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. Each mini-GBIC 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.
