Switch-M12PWR is an Ethernet Switching Hub with management function
having 12 ports of 10/100BASE-TX and two pairs of 10/100/1000BASE-T
port and SFP extension slot, one of which is selectable.
Ports 1 to 12 support IEEE802.3af compatible PoE power supply function.
1
1. .1 1. . F Fe ea at tu ur re es s

Ports 1 to 12 are 10/100BASE-TX ports corresponding to auto
negotiation.
Ports 13 and 14 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port
corresponding to auto negotiation or an SFP extension slot exclusively.

Ports 1 to 12 can supply power conforming with IEEE802.3af. Supplying
power up to 15.4W per port, and up to 170W in total is possible.

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 12 are set at MDI-X.
(default))

SSH/Telnet allows remote configuration changes and verifications of
the Switching Hub.
Remotely configure the PoE settings for each port (Ports 1 to 12).

Embedded power saving mode detects the connection status
automatically and saves power consumption to minimum.

VLAN function allows free grouping of up to 256 VLANs.

The IEEE802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol is supported, allowing
to build a system with redundancy.

The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.

The IEEE802.1X compatible user authentication function
(EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP) is supported.

The IEEE 802.3ad compatible tranking function is supported, allowing
to aggregate the ports up to 8 ports.

has four screw holes. Fix the mounting brackets and the main unit by
tightening four screws each.
Then, by using four screws (for 19-inch rack) included in this Switching Hub
or procured for the lack, firmly mount the main unit in the rack.

Connection Cable
Use a CAT5-compliant straight cable (twisted pair) with 8P8C RJ45 modular
plugs.
Network Configuration
Fig. 3-1 Connection example
The length of the cable connecting this Switching Hub and a device must be
100 m or shorter. When a terminal or a LAN device with auto negotiation
function is connected to this Switching Hub, the port is automatically
configured at the highest performance mode. When a terminal or a LAN
device without auto negotiation function is connected to this Switching
Hub, this Switching Hub automatically determines and sets the
communication speed; however, the full-duplex/half-duplex configuration is
set at half-duplex because the full-duplex/half-duplex capability cannot be
determined. When connecting a terminal or a LAN device without auto
negotiation function, a fixed-mode port configuration needs to be set. For
detailed configuration procedure, refer to 4.6.4.
Note:
If a fixed-mode port configuration mode is set, Auto MDI/MDI-X
