There are two pairs of Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC ports. The mini-GBIC ports have priority 
over the Gigabit ports. This means that if a mini-GBIC port and the corresponding Gigabit port 
are connected at the same time, the Gigabit port will be disabled. The speed of the Gigabit 
Ethernet/mini-GBIC ports can be 100Mbps or 1000Mbps and the duplex mode can be half 
duplex (at 100 Mbps) or full duplex.
An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed and duplex 
mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device.
An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-through or 
crossover Ethernet cable.
3.1.1.1  Default Ethernet Settings
The factory default negotiation settings for the Ethernet ports on the switch are:
• Speed: Auto
• Duplex: Auto
• Flow control: Off
3.1.2  Mini-GBIC Slots 
These are slots for mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) transceivers. A transceiver is a 
single unit that houses a transmitter and a receiver. The Switch does not come with 
transceivers. You must use transceivers that comply with the SFP Transceiver MultiSource 
Agreement (MSA). See the SFF committee’s INF-8074i specification Rev 1.0 for details.

You can change transceivers while the Switch is operating. You can use different transceivers 
to connect to Ethernet switches with different types of fiber-optic connectors.
• Type: SFP connection interface 
• Connection speed: 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)

To avoid possible eye injury, do not look into an operating fiber-optic module’s 
connectors. 
3.1.2.1  Transceiver Installation   
Use the following steps to install a mini GBIC transceiver (SFP module). 
Insert the transceiver into the slot with the exposed section of PCB board facing down.
