Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the Ethernet Switch
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 Ethernet Switch to Ethernet devices.
Triple Speed Functionality and
Switching
The Ethernet Switch 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 switched port auto negotiates
with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by
both devices. The Ethernet Switch 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.
