energy. It may cause harmful interference to radio communications if the
equipment is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

Introduction
The 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. This switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low
latency for high-speed networking. The switch is targeted at workgroup,
department or backbone computing environment.
The 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combo Web Smart Switch
has 24 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports and 2 auto-detect Gigabit
combo ports for higher connection speed. This switch features a
store-and-forward switching scheme. This allows the switch to auto-learn and
store source address in a 4K-entry MAC address table.
Features
Conforms to IEEE802.3 10Base-T, IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX, IEEE802.3ab
1000Base-T, IEEE802.3z Gigabit fiber, IEEE802.3x Flow control and Back
pressure, IEEE 802.3ad Port Trunk, IEEE 802.1p Class of Service.
24 10/100 TX plus 2 10/100/1000/Mini-GBIC Combo
Automatic MDI/MDIX supported
High Switch Fabric up to 8.8Gbps
N-way Auto-Negotiation supported
Store-and-Forwarding Switching Architecture
4K-entry MAC address table
Non-Blocking full wire speed architecture
IEEE 802.3x Flow control:
¾Pause-frame for full duplex mode
¾Back-pressure for half duplex mode
Fan free design

Front PanelFront Panel
The front panel of the 24-Port Fast Ethernet + 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Combo
Web Smart Switch consists of 24 x 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX)
and 2 auto-detect Giga ports which could be Copper Gigabit port or Mini-GBIC
Fiber module (optional). The LED Indicators are also located on the front panel of
the switch.

RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): 24 x 10/100 N-way auto-sensing for
10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections.
In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub or Switch while MDIX
means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto MDI/MDIX would

allow connecting to another Switch or workstation without changing
non-crossover or crossover cabling.
2 Giga port: The 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.

LED Indicators
The LED Indicators display real-time information of systematic operation status.
