- RJ45 - Auto-sensing Ethernet network ports detect the speed of the device connected to it (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps), and adjust port speed and duplex accordingly.
- SFP - A connection point for an SFP (miniGBIC) expansion module that allows for the switch to be uplinked via fiber to another switch. The SFP port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual workstation at speeds of 1000 Mbps. To establish a gigabit Ethernet connection using an SFP port, you will need to install a 1 GB SFP module and use fiber optic cabling.
Reset Button Behavior:
- Pressing for less than 10 seconds will cause system to reboot after releasing the button.
- Pressing the button for more than 10 seconds will cause the system to reboot to factory default settings.
