Chapter 1: Overview Ports The AT-8000/8POE Fast Ethernet Switch features eight twisted pair ports, one 10/100/1000Base-T port, and one combo SFP port. Twisted Pair The twisted pair ports feature 8-pin RJ-45 connectors. (For the port pinouts, refer to “Connectors and Port Pinouts” on page 55.) Ports The ports on the AT-8000/8POE Fast Ethernet Switch are 10Base-T and 100Base-TX compliant and are capable of 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and 100 Mbps speeds. The ports are IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negoti

AT-8000/8POE Layer 2 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide 10/100/1000 The 10/100/1000Base-T uplink port is a backup for the SFP uplink port. If the SFP’s fiber connection fails, the 10/100/1000Base-T uplink port takes RJ-45 Uplink over the connection. Port SFP Port The SFP port, port 9, can operate in place of its twisted pair port equivalent to provide fiber optic uplink connectivity. When an SFP is inserted in the SFP port and a fiber optic cable is connected, the corresponding twisted
