After determining this information, the switch automatically configures the RJ-45 port to enable
communications with the attached device, without requiring user intervention. This Auto Uplink
technology eliminates the need for setting uplink connections or being concerned about whether
to use crossover or straight-through cables when attaching devices.

SFP module bay
The last four ports (21, 22, 23, 24) on GSM7224 can be used with either UTP (RJ45) or SFP (fiber) type
cable. However, both port types cannot be used at the same time. If both are plugged in, the fiber should
be active and the copper should be inactive.
The SFP bay accommodates the AGM731F SFP module which has an LC connector that is compatible
with the IEEE 802.3z 1000BASE-SX standard. Additionally, any SFP GBIC module that complies with the
standard will work in the slot.
