Introduction
Thank you for choosing the 24-Port 10/100 + 4-Port
Gigabit Switch with WebView and Power over Ethernet.
This Switch will allow you to network better than ever.
The 24-Port 10/100 + 4-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView
delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10
and 100 megabit network clients, plus multiple options
for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty Four
10/100 ports wire up your workstations, while the four
integrated 10/100/1000 ports connect to other switches
and the backbone at Gigabit speeds. The miniGBIC ports
allow future expansion through alternate transmission
media like optical fiber.
All of the 10/100 ports on the Switch support pre-standard
and IEEE 802.3af standard (802.3af) Power over Ethernet
(PoE) capabilities. Each port can detect connected
pre-standard and 802.3af-compliant network devices, such
as IP phones or wireless access points, and automatically
supply the required DC power.
The Switch can provide DC power to a wide range of
connected devices, eliminating the need for an additional
power source and cutting down on the amount of cables
attached to each device. Once configured to supply
power, an automatic detection process is initialized by the
Switch that is authenticated by a PoE signature from the
connected device. Detection and authentication prevent
damage to non-PoE devices.
The Switch features WebView monitoring and configuration
via your web browser, making it easy to manage the 256
VLANs and up to 8 trunking groups. Or if you prefer, you
can use the integrated console port to configure the
Switch. The non-blocking, wire-speed switching forwards
packets as fast as your network can deliver them.
All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection.
Each port independently and automatically negotiates the
best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode.
Head-of-line blocking prevention keeps your high-speed
clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic and fast
store-and-forward switching prevents damaged packets
from being passed on into the network.
Use the instructions in this User Guide to help you connect
the Switch, set it up, and configure it to bridge your
different networks. These instructions should be all you
need to get the most out of the 24-Port 10/100 + 4-Port
Gigabit Switch with WebView and Power over Ethernet.
