¾ LED Indicator
Comprehensive LED indicators display the status of the switch
and the network (see the LED Indicators chapter below).
¾ 10/100BASE-T Twisted-Pair Ports
These ports support network speeds of either 10Mbps or
100Mbps, and can operate in half- and full- duplex transfer
modes. These ports also support automatic MDI/MDIX crossover
detection function which gives true “plug and play” capability,
you just need to plug in the network cable to the hub without
worrying about whether the other end is a hub or NIC.
An RS-232 DCE console port is supplied for Switch management
via a connection to a console terminal or PC using a terminal
emulation program.
