Note
In order for a twisted pair port on the
AT-FS705LE switch to successfully Auto-
Negotiate its duplex mode with an end-
node, the end-node should also be using
Auto-Negotiation. Otherwise, a duplex
mode mismatch can occur. The twisted
pair port, using Auto-Negotiation, will
default to half-duplex if it detects that
the end-node is not using Auto-
Negotiation. This will result in a
mismatch if the end-node is operating at
a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex.
Port 5 and the Uplink Port
Port 5 and the Uplink port allow you to connect
an additional workstation to the switch or
interconnect the switch with another switch or
hub, without the use of a crossover cable. If you
need to connect an additional workstation to
the switch, use Port 5, which is configured as
MDI-X. If you need to connect the switch to
another Ethernet switch, use the Uplink port,
which is configured as MDI.
