3.2 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Ports
The switch can support connections to the following devices:
• 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-TX network cards
• 10BASE-T hub ports
• 100BASE-TX hub ports
• 10/100BASE-TX dual speed hub ports
• 10/100BASE-TX switch ports
Auto-negotiation Capable
The ports support auto-negotiation function when establishing a link
connection with any auto-negotiation capable device. The connection
speed and duplex mode are determined through the negotiation process
with the connected device.
Auto-speed-sensing
When connecting to a non-auto-negotiation device, half duplex mode is
used. However, the ports can auto-detect the connection speed.
Manual Configuration
The ports are configured to be enabled for auto-negotiation as factory
default. However, it also can be changed and stick to one of the follow-
ing configurations through network management operation:
_ 10M Half-duplex
_ 10M Full-duplex
_ 100M Half-duplex
_ 100M Full-duplex
Trunking Function
The ports are configured as normal data ports instead of trunking ports
as factory default. In order to support trunking function, any port can be
configured as a trunking port manually through network management
operation. As configured, it is no longer a data port. For more details
about trunking, refer to section 3.4.
