Device Hardware Interfaces
RJ-45 Ports
RJ-45 ports are autosensing ports. When inserting a cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch
automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (half-
duplex or full-duplex) of the attached device. All ports support only unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable terminated with an 8-pin RJ-45 plug.
Physical Description

v1.0, March 2010
GS110TP Hardware Installation Guide
To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This
technology allows attaching devices to the RJ-45 ports with either straight-through or crossover
cables. When inserting a cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically:
•
•
Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable.
Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such as
when connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink” connection (such as when connecting the
port to a router, switch, or hub).
•
Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without
requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting
uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-
through cables when attaching devices.
Reset Button
The Smart Switch has a Reset button on the front panel to allow you to manually reboot the switch.
This action is equivalent to powering the unit off and back on. The last saved configuration is
loaded into the switch as it resets. To operate the Reset button, insert a device such as a paper clip
into the opening to press the recessed button. The front-panel LEDs should extinguish and light
again as the switch performs its Power On Self Test (POST).
Factory Defaults Button
The Smart Switch has a Factory Defaults button on the front panel so that you can remove the
current configuration and return the device to its factory settings. When you enable the Factory
Defaults button, all settings including the password, VLAN settings, and port configurations are
removed. To operate the Factory Defaults button, insert a device such as a paper clip into the
opening to press the recessed button for two seconds.

Auto-Negotiation
The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the
link supports auto negotiation. If the device does not support auto negotiation, the switch only
determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex.
The gigabit port on the Gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided
that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
