Contivity unit 10/100 Ethernet switch overview
The seven-port 10/100 Ethernet switch on the front of the Contivity 100 unit has
seven 10/100 autosensing ports. Each port automatically senses and adapts to the
operating environment, regardless of the type of cable (straight-through or
crossover) plugged into the port, or whether the device at the other end of the
cable is an Ethernet card, such as in a PC, or another hub or Ethernet switch.
The seven-port Ethernet switch is designed to provide flexibility in configuring
your network connections. You can use the Ethernet switch to:
•
•
•
•
Add hardware to your LAN.
Network several computers together.
Connect your Contivity 100 unit without purchasing additional hardware.
Replace your existing 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T hub to save space.
