Figure 2-1 Front Panel

The following parts are located on the front panel of the Switch:

¾10/100/1000Mbps Ports: Designed to connect to the device with a bandwidth of 10Mbps, 100Mbps or 1000Mbps. Each has a corresponding 1000Mbps LED.

¾SFP Ports: Designed to install the SFP module. Port 15F shares the same LED with Port 15T and Port 16F shares the same LED with Port 16T. The Port 15F (16F) and Port 15T (16T) are referred to as “combo” ports, which means they cannot be used simultaneously, otherwise only SFP ports work.

Note:

When using the SFP port with a 100M module or a gigabit module, you need to configure its corresponding Speed and Duplex mode on Switching→Port→Port Config page. For 100M module, please select 100MFD while select 1000MFD for gigabit module. By default, the Speed and Duplex mode of SFP port is 1000MFD.

¾Console Port: Designed to connect with the serial port of a computer or terminal for monitoring and configuring the Switch.
