NETWORK PORTS (USE RIGHT JACK) Select Network Ports to
display the capabilities of a LAN device. LAN devices broadcast their
capability in terms of speed, duplex and other features (termed "ad-
vertised capabilities") to other LAN devices. When two LAN devices
are connected together, they "negotiate" to attain the highest common
denominator for communicating on the link. For instance, a gigabit switch
with an advertised capability of 1000MB, full duplex will negotiate down
to 100MB, half duplex when connected to a 100MB, half duplex LAN
device. The RWC1000 displays individual LAN devices advertised
capabilities and also can connect INLINE between two LAN devices
to display the negotiated results. Note: The RIGHT jack is protected
from PoE voltage. Use it when connecting to devices.
