• Half 10Mbps or Half 100Mbps:
Half-duplex data transmission means that data can be transmitted in both directions on a
signal carrier, but not at the same time. For example, on a LAN using a technology that has

IP phone, you can set the half-duplex transmission to transmit in 10Mbps or in 100Mbps.
