Auto-MDI/MDI-X. Detects the type of cable you are using,
Crossover or Straight-Through, and automatically adjusts per
port, allowing you to also use any port as an uplink port—the
choice is yours. No more worries about whether you are using
the right cable type or not. Auto MDI/MDI-X cable-type
detection gives you true 'plug and play' capability.
Nway Auto-negotiation for any port. This allows for auto-
sensing of speed (10/100Mbps) and duplex mode
(10/20/100/200Mbps), providing an automatic and flexible
solution for the network.
Flow control for any port. This minimizes dropped packets by
sending out collision signals when the port's receiving buffer is
full. Note that flow control is only available in half duplex mode.
Data filtering rate eliminates all error packets, runts, etc., per
port at wire-speed for 100Mbps operation and 10Mbps
operation.
