10/100BASE-TX MDA

The optional expansion slot can be used for a 10/100BASE-TX MDA that
supports autonegotiation for either 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s operation, depending on
the connecting device. For more information about autonegotiation, see
"Connecting the 10/100BASE-TX
The MDA, shown in

capable of operating at 100 Mb/s, Bay Networks recommends that only Category
5 UTP cabling be used for connections to the RJ-45 port connector (see
on page 1-5
The 10/100BASE-TX port also supports operation in full- and half-duplex mode.
In full-duplex mode, the aggregate transfer can be either 20 Mb/s or
200 Mb/s (for simultaneous transmit and receive at 100 Mb/s each) depending on
the speed of the connecting device. In half-duplex mode, the transfer speed is
either 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s (transmit or receive).
