Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Switch

The Back Panel

16- or 24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with WebView

For the 16-Port Switch, ports 8 and 16 are shared with miniGBIC1 and miniGBIC2,

respectively. For the 24-Port Switch, ports 12 and 24 are shared with miniGBIC1 and

miniGBIC2, respectively.

miniGBIC1/2 The Switch provides two mini-GBIC ports. The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter) port

is a connection point for a mini-GBIC expansion module, so the Switch can be uplinked via

fiber to another switch. Each mini-GBIC port provides a link to a high-speed network

segment or individual workstation at speeds of up to 1000Mbps.

Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 mini-GBIC modules with the Switch. The

MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC connectors, while the MGBT1

requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.

Console The Console port is where you can connect a serial cable to a PC’s serial port for

configuration using your PC’s HyperTerminal program. Refer to “Chapter 4: Using the

Console Interface for Configuration” for more information.

The Back Panel

The power port is located on the back panel of the Switch.

Power The Power port is where you will connect the power cord.

NOTE: If you need to reset the Switch, unplug the power cord from the back

of the Switch. Wait a few seconds and then reconnect it.

NOTE: If shared ports are both connected, then the miniGBIC port has priority.
