Chapter 1: Overview

100/1000/10000Base-T and Twisted Pair Ports

The XS916MXT series switches have 4 or 12 100/1000/10000Base-T
ports.

Speed

The ports can operate at 100 or 1000 Mbps, or 10 Gbps. The speeds may
be set manually using the management software or automatically with
Auto-Negotiation (IEEE 802.3u), the default setting.

Duplex Mode

The twisted pair ports operate in full-duplex mode. You cannot change the
duplex mode of a port manually.
Wiring
The wiring configuration of a port operating at 100 Mbps can be MDI or
MDI-X. The wiring configurations of a switch port and a network device
Configuration
connected with straight-through twisted pair cabling have to be opposite,
such that one device is using MDI and the other MDI-X. For instance, a
switch port has to be set to MDI-X if it is connected to a network device set
to MDI.
The switch has the auto-MDI/MDI-X detection feature (IEEE 802.3ab-
compliant) so that the switch automatically negotiates with network
devices to establish their proper settings.
Maximum
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
