4. OPERATION
4.1 Dual-Speed Functionality, and Switching
The LPH240A Series Edge Switches provide SIX switched
ports with combination of fiber and copper or copper only. The
architecture supports a dual speed switching environment, with standard
auto-negotiation capability.
The switched RJ-45 ports are full- or half-duplex auto-sensing
for mode and speed, and auto-cross for plug polarity. (See Section 4.2).
When the connected device is 10 Mbps, the LPH240A obeys all the rules
of 10 Mbps Ethernet configurations. The 10 Mbps users can
“communicate” with 100Mbps users as well as other 10 Mbps users
through the switch. Similarly, the 100Mbps traffic obeys the rules of
100Mbps Ethernet, and can communicate with 10 Mb and 100Mb users.
LPH240A Series units are plug-and-play devices. There is no software
configuring to be done at installation or for maintenance, even for the LLL
ports. The internal functions of both are described below.
