Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the switch’s
10/100/1000BaseT(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without
paying 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 switch to Ethernet devices.
Three Speed Functionality and Switching
The switch’s 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 switched port auto negotiates with
the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by
both devices. The switch is a plug-and-play device, so software
configuration is not required at installation or during maintenance.
The half/full duplex mode for the RJ45 switched 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.
Auto-Negotiation and Speed Sensing
The switch’s RJ45 Ethernet ports independently support auto-negotiation
for transmission speeds of 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps, with
operation according to the IEEE 802.3 standard.
This means that some nodes could be operating at 10 Mbps, while at the
same time, other nodes are operating at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps.
