2.7 Making UTP Connections

TP Port Configuration
Use management function to set the required TP port configuration. It is
recommended to set the highest ability for the TP ports as follows:
Auto-negotiation = enabled
Speed = 100M
Duplex = Full
This is appropriate to support connection to almost every Ethernet de-
vices including those which are not auto-negotiation capable.
Cables
Depending on the connection speed, use the appropriate UTP cables for
the connections as follows:
Speed
100M
10M
Auto-MDI-X Function
An Auto-MDI-X function will automatically detect if a crossover is re-
quired and make the swap of Tx pair and Rx pair internally. With this
function, straight-through cable can be used for any connection. MDI to
MDI-X connection rule is not necessary anymore. In the switches, all TP
ports are equipped with this function. You can use just straight-through
type of cables for all your connections.
