2. Hardware Description
This Section describes the hardware of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch.
The physical dimensions of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch is:
440 x 224 x 44 mm (W x D x H)
Front Panel 
The Front Panel of the DynaGST/1602G Gigabit Ethernet switch consists of sixteen (16) auto-negotiation 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors (with Automatic MDI/MDIX support), two Mini GBIC slots, and LED indicators (1000, Link/Activity, Full duplex/Collision) for each Gigabit port and power for the unit.

RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): Sixteen (16) auto-negotiation 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 connectors
[Auto MDI/MDIX means that you can connect to another switch or workstation with either straight-through or crossover cabling.]
Mini GBIC ports: Ports 15 and 16 auto-detect between the Gigabit copper ports and the Mini GBIC (Gigabit fiber) ports. They support 3.3V Mini SFP GBIC modules. These modules are optional. There are two LED indicators for the Mini GBIC ports – LNK and ACT. If a Mini GBIC module is not installed, ports 15 and 16 operate in Gigabit copper mode only.
