Configuring the Network Device
The network device has the ability to send and receive packets at the same time (full-duplexing) at both 10
and 100 Mbps. In order to reap the benefits of full duplexing, you MUST have a full duplex hub or switch.
The network device has the added ability to “talk” to the hub or switch and determine at which mode to
communicate (either full or half duplex). This is called auto-negotiation. You must have an auto-negotiating
hub or switch to get full duplex support with the Duplex Mode set to Auto. If you don’t have an auto-
negotiating hub or switch and want to run at full duplex, set Duplex Mode to Full and then set the SPEED
parameter to either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.
