Technical Support for assistance.

The STP ports on the FX-16NW support “Auto-Negotiation” feature. This

technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a

connection is established with another network device (usually at Power On

or Reset). Å@This is accomplished by detecting both the transmission

mode and speed immediately after both devices are connected. With this

t e c h n o l o g y, the FX-16NW can handle both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX

devices in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode.

There is a non-standardized technology called “Auto-Sensing”. Unlike

Auto-Negotiation, Auto-Sensing detects only the 10BASE-T / 100BASE-

TX speed modes (CANNOT recognize the duplex modes). Sometimes a

network card or hub with Auto-Sensing support may fail to establish a valid

link with the FX-16NW. Should you encounter this problem, please disable

the Auto-Sensing function of the card or hub and manually set its

transmission mode to 100Mbps half-duplex. Then, reboot the system (PC

with the network card or hub) and see whether a link can be established
