Page 9: Introduction
NTRODUCTION This chapter describes the features of this AOpen SOHO Switch some background information about Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switching technology. Fast Ethernet Technology A number of high-speed LAN technologies have been proposed to provide greater bandwidth and improve client/server response times. Among them, 100BASE-T (Fast Ethernet) provides a non-disruptive, smooth evolution from the current 10BASE-T technology. -

Page 18: Using Crossover Cable
B. Using crossover cable When using crossover cable, the connection can be made from any (MDI-X) ports of the Switch to any port of the Hub. Switch to switch (other devices) This switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers, bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover cable. -
Page 19: Port Speed & Duplex Mode
Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation determine 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 is initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to half-duplex. -
