3.2 Making UTP Connections
10/100 TP Port Configuration
All 10/100 TP ports support configuration as follows:
Auto-negotiation capable
Highest capability: 100M Full duplex
Speed: auto-sensing for 100Mbps or 10Mbps
Duplex: Full duplex, half-duplex
Auto MCI-X function
The following table lists the configuration used for the 10/100 port when it connects to different
devices:
Connected Device Configuration Used
10BaseT hub port 10Mbps, half-duplex
100BaseTX hub port 100Mbps, half-duplex
Auto-negotiation port Determined by auto-negotiation process
Non-auto*1 half-duplex port auto-speed-sensing *2, half-duplex
Non-auto full-duplex port Not supported
*1 Non-auto: non-auto-negotiation
*2 speed is determined by auto-sensing function
Cables
Depending on the connection speed, use the proper UTP cables:
Speed Cables used Distance
100M Cat. 5, 5e, or higher grade 100 meters
10M Cat. 3, 4, 5, 5e or higher grade 100 meters
Auto-MDI-X Function
An Auto-MDI-X function will automatically detect if a crossover is required and make the swap
of Tx pair and Rx pair internally. With this function, straight-through cable can be used for any
connection. MDI to MDI-X connection rule is not necessary anymore. You can use just straight-
through type cable for all your connections.
