Connecting To Network Backbone or Server
The two Mini-GBIC combo ports are ideal for uplinking to a network backbone or server. The
copper ports operate at a speed of 1000, 100, or 10Mbps in ful-l or half-duplex mode. The
fiber optic ports can operate at 1000Mbps in full-duplex mode.
Connections to the Gigabit Ethernet ports are made using fiber optic cable or Category 5
copper cable, depending on the type of port. A valid connection is indicated when the Link
LED is lit.
