The fi rst step in the scanning process reads the link pulses of the LAN
device and display the advertised capability. LAN devices broadcast
their capability in terms of speed, duplex and other features (termed
"advertised" capabilities) to other LAN devices.

First example (above): The RWC1000 has found a gigabit device
(1000MB) on pairs 1,2 and 3,6 that is capable of transmitting at 10MB,
100MB and 1000MB at full duplex. 1000 MB devices use all 4 pairs.

Second example (above): The RWC1000 has found a 100MB device
on pairs 3,6 that is capable of transmitting at 10MB and 100MB at
half duplex. Typically, devices that transmit on pairs 1,2 are PCs and
devices that transmit on 3,6 are hubs and switches.
