700 Series Managed Switch User’s Guide for Software v2.1

Gigabit Ports. For the gigabit ports on each switch, the port type may be chosen. The default is that the port uses the RJ-45 interface (GT). You can select the GBIC interface (GB) by switching the port type from ‘GT’ to ‘GB’. This can be done by hitting the space bar when the cursor is on the port number.

Note: enabling the GBIC connector for a Gigabit Ethernet port disables the built-in 1000BASE-T port. GBIC ports do not support Auto Negotiation. You must manually configure the GBIC port. The default values are 1000 Mbps, full duplex.
