Introduction
he 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combo Web Smart Switch is
a multi-port Switch that can be used to build high-performance switched
workgroup networks. his switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low
latency for high-speed networking. he switch is targeted at workgroup,
department or backbone computing environment.
he 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combo Web Smart Switch
has 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base- X RJ-45 ports and 2 auto-detect Gigabit
combo ports for higher connection speed. his switch features a
store-and-forward switching scheme. his allows the switch to auto-learn and
store source address in a 4K-entry MAC address table.
Features
 Conforms to IEEE802.3 10Base- , IEEE802.3u 100Base- X, IEEE802.3ab

Hardware escription
his section mainly describes the hardware of the 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port
Gigabit Ethernet Combo Web Smart Switch and gives a physical and functional
overview on the certain switch.
Physical imensions
he 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combo Web Smart Switch
physical dimensions is 440mm x 120mm x 44mm (W x x H).
Front Panel
he front panel of the 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combo
Web Smart Switch consists of 24 x 10/100Base- X RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX)
and 2 auto-detect Giga ports which could be Copper Gigabit port or Mini-GBIC
Fiber module (optional). he LED Indicators are also located on the front panel of
the switch.
he Front panel of 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combo Web Smart Switch
 RJ-45 Ports (Auto M I/M IX): 24 x 10/100 N-way auto-sensing for
10Base- or 100Base- X connections.
In general, M I means connecting to another Hub or Switch while M IX
means connecting to a workstation or PC. herefore, Auto M I/M IX would

allow connecting to another Switch or workstation without changing
non-crossover or crossover cabling.
 2 Giga port: he traditional RJ-45 ports can be used for up-linking wide-band
paths in short distance (<100m), or the appropriate replaceable mini-GBIC
ports can be used for the application of wideband up-linking and long
distance transmissions to fit the flexible field request.
[NOTE] When the Mini-GBIC slot and the corresponding RJ-45 port are both
being connected, the Mini-GBIC (Giga fiber) port has higher priority.
