22 MULTILINK ML2400 ETHERNET COMMUNICATIONS SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
MULTILINK MC-E10 & MC-E100 CONVERTER SWITCH
When a RJ-45 cable connection is made, and each time a LINK is enabled, auto-
negotiation takes place. The Multilink MC-E10 & Multilink MC-E100 Series advertises its
capability for 10 or 100 Mbps speed, and the device at the other end of the cable should
similarly advertise / respond and both sides will agree to the speed being used. Depending
upon the device connected, this will result in agreement to operate at either 10 Mbps or
100Mbps speed.
5.3 (F-H) Switch, Full-Duplex or Half-Duplex for Fiber port# 1
The (F–H) manual switch has been provided for fiber port #1, for fixing that port at Full or
Half Duplex as per the requirements. The (F-H) manual switch is being located underneath
the fiber port. The Fiber port with 10Mb is being set at Half-Duplex, and the 100Mb being
set at Full-Duplex as default from the factory. The port can be set at the required mode, by
sliding the manual switch position to “F” or “H”.
