1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
This manual describes how to install and use the SM2224 Management
Gigabit Switch. This switch introduced here is designed to deliver full
scalability with SNMP/RMON web-based management functions by
providing 24x10/100BASE-TX fixed ports, optional 2x100BASE-FX
and optional 2x1000BASE-SX/LX or 1000BASE-T ports. For the two
100BASE-FX fiber ports, each allows for multi-mode SC, ST, VF-45,
MT-RJ fiber module or single-mode SC fiber module. For the two
Gigabit ports, it allows options of fiber type and wavelength at user’s
discretion. This switch brings a simple answer for today’s complicated
networking environments.
To get the best view of this manual, you should have an understanding of
Ethernet networking basic concepts.
