 Has wire-speed Layer 2 switching function.
 Ports 1 to 16 are 10/100/1000BASE-T ports corresponding to auto negotiation.
Also their speed and communication mode can be switched by configuration.
Ports 17 and 18 can be used as a 10/100/1000BASE-T port corresponding to auto
negotiation or an SFP extension slot exclusively.
 Ports 1 to 16 can supply power conforming with IEEE802.3at. Supplying power up to
30 W per port, and up to 185 W 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 16 are set at MDI-X. (default))
 Telnet allows remote configuration changes and verifications of the Switching Hub.
Remotely configure the PoE settings for each port (Ports 1 to 16).
Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az (LPI).
When there is no data transmission at link up, the energy-saving state automatically
starts so that power consumption can be reduced on each port.
 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 IEEE802.1w Rapid 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.
 Has an Internet Mansion function, which ensures security between each door.
Due to the loop detection/shutoff function, a port where loop has occurred can be
automatically shut off to prevent loop failures. When a port is shut off and
recovered automatically, SNMP trap can be sent to notify the incident to the
administrator. Moreover, the port with a loop can be identified by loop notification
on the LEDs on the main unit and referring the history of loop on the setting screen.
The PoE scheduler function enables scheduling of PoE power supply control.
