segments, it automatically forwards traffic that needs to go from one segment to another. By doing this the total network capacity is multiplied, while still maintaining the same network cabling and adapter cards. For Fast Ethernet networks, a switch is an effective way of eliminating problems of chaining hubs beyond the “two-repeater limit.”... -

Page 23: Using Straight Cable
A. Using straight cable When using straight cable, the connection can be made from the uplink (MDI-II) port of the Switch to any port of the Hub. B. Using crossover cable When using crossover cable, the connection can be made from any ports of the Switch to any port of the Hub. -
Page 24: Port Speed & Duplex Mode
Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new twisted-pair connection: If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto sensing process will be initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to half- duplex. -
