Viewed from right to left, the back panel contains the following components:
• DC power connector. One 12V, 2.5A DC connector for the power adapter.
• 10 Gigabit/Multi-Gig Ethernet ports.Two 10G ports that also support 5G, 2.5G, 1G, and 100M speeds.
These ports are numbered 1 and 2.
- Port 1.We recommend that you use this port as the uplink and connect it to a LAN port on a router
that is connected to the Internet.
- Port 2. Connect this port to a high-speed device such as another switch or high-speed NAS.
Port 1 and port 2 support 10G, 5G, and 2.5G speeds only if your router and Internet
connection support these speeds. Otherwise, these ports operate at 1G speed.
Note
• Gigabit Ethernet ports. Eight Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 LAN ports that support 1G and 100M speeds.
These ports are numbered 3 through 10.
- Ports 3 through 8.We recommend that you connect these ports to your network devices, other
than your main media streaming device (see port 9) and main gaming device (see port 10).
- Ports 9. We recommend that you connect this port to your main media streaming device so that
you can use the Media Streaming Preset mode (see Apply the Media Streaming Preset Mode on
page 25).
- Port 10.We recommend that you connect this port to your main gaming device so that you can use
the Gaming Preset mode (see Apply the Gaming Preset Mode on page 24).
