Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect MOXA
EtherDevice Switch’s 10/100BaseTX 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 EDS to Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and
Switching
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.
