Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’s
10/100/1000BaseT(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.
Triple Speed Functionality and Switching
The EDS’s 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 switched port auto negotiates with
the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported
by both devices. The EDS is a plug-and-play device, so software
configuration is not required at installation or during maintenance.
The half/full duplex mode for the RJ45 switched 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.
