Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’s
10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without needing to
pay attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection.
This means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-over
cable to connect the EDS to Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s 10/100 Mbps switched RJ45 port auto
negotiates with the connected device for the fastest data transmission
rate supported by both devices. All models of Moxa EtherDevice Switch
are plug-and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required
at installation, or during maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the
switched RJ45 ports is user dependent and changes (by auto-negotiation)
to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission speed is supported
by the attached device.
