BOOK.MKR Page 5 Tuesday, March 4, 1997 7:24 PM Troubleshooting If the connected station uses a form of autonegotiation that is not compatible to the IEEE 802.3u autonegotiating standard, the connected stations cannot negotiate a compatible mode suitable for correct operation. In this situation, the BayStack 350T switch autosenses the speed of the connected port and, by default, reverts to half-duplex mode. If the connected station is operating in full-duplex mode, the stations cannot communicate.
