The AT-FS708LE supports RX Flow Control
only. This means that it will respond to a
PAUSE packet sent to it by an end-node
connection if data is transmitted faster than
the end-node connection can process. The
AT-FS708LE does not support TX Flow
Control, however, and a PAUSE packet will not
be transmitted to the end-node connection if it
receives data faster than it can switch the
packets.
Twisted Pair Ports
The AT-FS708LE switch has eight 10Base-T/
100Base-TX twisted pair ports. Each twisted
pair port features a RJ-45 connector. The
maximum operating distance for the twisted
pair ports is 100 meters (328 feet) when
operating at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Port Speed
The twisted pair ports are compliant with the
10Base-T and 100Base-TX standards and are
capable of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
operation. Since the ports are IEEE 802.3u
Auto-Negotiation compliant, the switch will set
the port speed automatically. With Auto-
Negotiation, the speed of a port is set
automatically by the switch after it determines
the speed of the end-node connected to the port.
Auto-negotiation is designed to ensure that the
