Multi-Gigabit (IEEE 802.3bz) solves these problems by additionally supporting 2.5 Gigabit and 5 Gigabit
Ethernet connections over Cat 5e and higher Ethernet cables. Multi-Gigabit ports are also backward
compatible with 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit ports.
Figure 1 Multi-Gigabit Application
See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding
speed.
Note: Make sure to select the correct speed for the port in Basic Setting > Port Setup.
1.1.2 Management Modes
NebulaFlex means you can set the Switch to operate in either standalone or cloud mode (but not both
at the same time).
Use the Web Configurator to configure and manage the Switch directly in standalone mode or use
Nebula Control Center (NCC) to configure and manage the Switch in cloud mode. The Nebula Control
Center (NCC) is an alternative cloud-based network management system that allows you to remotely
manage and monitor the Switch. You may also access a minimized version of the Web Configurator in
cloud mode.
