Note
You should connect the LAN port to a network device that also
supports Auto-Negotiation. The LAN port operates at 10Mbps if it is
connected to a network device does not support Auto-Negotiation.
This may result in reduced network performance.
Duplex Mode The LAN port can operate in either half- or full-duplex mode at
10/100Mbps, and full-duplex mode at higher speeds. The port is IEEE
802.3u-compliant and uses Auto-Negotiation to set the duplex mode. You
cannot disable Auto-Negotiation on the port.
Note
You should connect the LAN port to a network device that also
supports Auto-Negotiation for duplex mode. If connected to a
network device that does not support Auto-Negotiation, it operates
at half-duplex mode. This will result in a duplex mode mismatch if
the network device is operating at full duplex. This may result in
reduced network performance.
Automatic MDIX
Detection
The LAN port is IEEE 802.3ab compliant. It features automatic MDIX
detection when operating at 10/100Mbps. (Automatic MDIX detection
does not apply to higher speeds.) This feature automatically configures
the port to MDI or MDIX depending on the wiring configuration of the port
on the network device where it is connected.
You cannot disable automatic MDIX detection. For automatic MDIX
detection to work properly, this feature must also be present on the
network device. The LAN port defaults to MDIX if it is connected to a
network device that does not support automatic MDIX detection.
