Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’s
10/100BaseT(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without paying
attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the connection.
This means that you can use either a straight-through cable or cross-
over cable to connect the EDS to Ethernet devices.
Dual Speed Functionality and Switching Moxa EDS’s 10/100 Mbps
switched RJ45 port auto negotiates with the connected device for the
fastest data transmission rate supported by both devices. All models of
Moxa EtherDevice Switch are plug-and-play devices, so that software
configuration is not required at installation, or during maintenance. The
half/full duplex mode for the switched RJ45 ports is user dependent and
changes (by auto-negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on
which transmission speed is supported by the attached device.
Fiber Ports
Moxa EDS's fiber switched ports operate at a fixed 100 Mbps speed and
full-duplex mode to provide the best performance. The fiber ports are
factory-built as either a multi-mode or single-mode SC/ST connector.
Consequently, you should use fiber cables that have SC/ST connectors
at both ends. When plugging the connector into the port, make sure the
slider guide is positioned to the right side so that it fits snuggly into the
port.
The 100 Mbps fiber ports are switched ports, and perform as a domain,
providing a high bandwidth backbone connection that supports long
fiber cable distances (up to 5 km for multi-mode, and 40 km for single-
mode) for installation versatility.
