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.
