Page 21: Ethernet Switching Basics
The twisted pair ports on the GS910 series switch can operate in half- or full-duplex mode for 10/100 Mbps. They are IEEE 802.3u-compliant and use Auto-Negotiation to set the duplex mode setting for you automatically. - Page 22 GS910 Series Gigabit Ehternet Unmanaged Switch Installation and User’s Guide How a switch signals an end-node to stop transmitting data differs depending on the duplex mode of the end-node and switch port. A twisted pair port operating in half-duplex mode stops an end-node from transmitting data by forcing a collision.
