• After ascertaining this information, the switch automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable
communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. In this way, the
Auto Uplink technology eliminates the need for setting uplink connections or being concerned
about whether to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices.

The last four ports (21,22,23,24) on GSM7324 can be used for either STP (RJ45) or SFP (fiber) type cable.
However, both port types can not be used at the same time. The switch will detect the port in use
automatically simply by the first connected interface. If both connectors are plugged in at the same, the
result is undetermined.
The SFP bay accommodates a standard SFP module which has an SC connector that is compatible with
the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard.
