ABOUT THE TIGERACCESS SWITCH
This port supports auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) can be selected automatically, if this feature is also supported by the attached device. However, note that the interface connection parameters of this port cannot be configured.
Console Port
The console port on the switch’s front panel is an RJ-45 connection using a male DB-9 connector that enables a connection to a terminal for performing switch monitoring and configuration functions. The terminal may be a PC or workstation running terminal emulation software, or a terminal configured as a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) connection. A null-modem wired serial cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to this interface.
SFP Slots
The Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with RJ-45 ports (ports 25~26 on the front panel or ports 27~28 on the optional modules). In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

1000BASE-SX (SMCBGSLCX1)
1000BASE-LX (SMCBGLLCX1)
1000BASE-ZX (SMCBGZLCX1)
Note that 1000BASE-SX transceivers use multimode duplex fiber cable, 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX transceivers use single-mode duplex fiber cable.
