• Optional 10 Gbps uplink modules (not available for FastIron LS 648-STK models)
For information about the type of fiber optic modules supported, see “Fiber optic modules” on
page 7.
FastIron LS and LS-STK 10/100/1000BASE-T ports
FLS and FLS-STK devicees contain 24 or 48 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, half or full
duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all ports on these devicees support automatic
MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other devicees or hubs. (Refer to “Pinouts and signaling” on page 63.) It is best to use
MDIX cable for device-to-device connections.
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full
duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device
connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of
that port can be configured manually.
