Auto-negotiation selects the supported link rate and Auto MDI\/MDI-X removes the need to choose crossover cables. A connected router continues to provide services such as Internet routing and DHCP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuiet Operation Where People Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fanless design avoids cooling-fan noise beside a workstation or meeting-room setup. Compact desktop construction keeps the installation compact. Provide ventilation, keep the unit within its operating conditions and support cables properly rather than treating a silent switch as equipment that can be enclosed without airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEfficient Switching for Everyday Traffic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore-and-forward switching and IEEE 802.3x flow control support ordinary wired traffic, while Energy-Efficient Ethernet can reduce link power during suitable idle periods. The 16Gbps switching fabric describes aggregate switch capacity; it does not increase a single Gigabit port or the speed of an Internet subscription.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKnow the Limits Before Connecting Devices\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model does not supply PoE power.
