DC Power Jack: Power is supplied through an external AC power adapter.

Check the technical specification section for information about

the AC power input voltage. Since the switch does not include

a power switch, plugging its power adapter into a power out-

let will immediately power it on.

POE The Switch supports two power systems, 12VDC or powered

from POE. Port # 1 supports 802.3af in-line power. Either

power system can be deployed to the Switch at a time. And

12VDC will not active if POE port and POE power is in use.

Numbered MDI/

MDI-X Jacks:

Use these jacks to connect stations to the Switch. These are

numbered MDI/MDI-X jacks, which mean, you can use ordi-

nary straight or crossover twisted-pair cables to connect user

machines and servers to the switch through them.
