1. Product Outline
Switch-M16eG is an all Giga bit Ethernet Switching Hub with management function having 14
ports of 10/100/1000BASE-T and two pairs of 10/100/1000BASE-T port and SFP extension
slot, one of which is selectable.

1. .1 1. . F Fe ea at tu ur re es s
Has wire-speed Layer 2 switching function.
Ports 1 to 14 are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to auto negotiation. Also their
speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration. Ports 15 and 16 can
be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port corresponding to auto negotiation or an SFP
extension slot exclusively. Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by
configuration.
All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function. Simply connect
devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a network device.
(This function does not work if the port communication configuration is set at Fixed or
Link Aggregation. Ports 1 to 14 are set at MDI-X. (default))
Has a loop detection function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the corresponding
port LED and automatically shuts down the looped port.
Has a loop detection history function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the corresponding
LED and enables a network administrator to identify the looped port after the loop is removed.
VLAN function allows free grouping of up to 256 VLANs
Fanless design solves noise problem or fan failure.
Use of LED indicator switching button saves power consumption of LED lamps.
The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.
Has an Internet mansion function, which ensures security between each door.
Power saving mode detects the connection status automatically and saves power consumption
to minimum.
Telnet and SSH functions facilitate remote setting change and confirmation.
Standard MIB (MIB II, Bridge MIB, etc.) is supported, enabling remote control by using
the SNMP manager. (For details, refer to Appendix A and Appendix C.)
Link aggregation function is supported. Aggregation can be manually configured up to 8
ports.
Reboot timer function is supported, enabling auto reboot after a scheduled time (24 hours
or less).
