1.3.1 1000Base-T Ports

The 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports support 100/
1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet so the speed can be 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps. The
duplex mode can be both half or full duplex at 100 Mbps and full duplex only at
1000 Mbps. An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum
Ethernet speed (100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of
the connected device.
