RJ-45 Ports
The switch base unit contains 24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 ports.
All of these ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can
use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers,
or to other switches or hubs. (See "10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Pin
Assignments" on page B-2.)
Each of these ports support IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation, so the
optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10 or 100
Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these
ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that
port can be configured manually.
Each port also supports auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch
can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
