  • Page 15 Introduction Auto-Negotiation The twisted pair ports on the front panel of the 9H532-24 and 9H533-24 modules have the ability to auto-negotiate the type of connection required to provide a link to another device. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information ÒtellingÓ each other what their operating capabilities are. The Auto- Negotiation feature targets the maximum capabilities that can be reached between the two devices.

The beneÞts of SmartTrunking include the following: ¥ All purchased bandwidth is used. ¥ Distributed, resilient links increase reliability and performance. ¥ Multiple technologies are supported within a single trunk for maximum ßexibility.
  • Page 17 Introduction Broadcast Suppression Broadcast Suppression enables a user to set a desired limit of receive broadcast frames per port/per second to be forwarded out the other ports on the module up to the set limit. Any broadcast frames above this speciÞed limit are dropped. In the event that broadcast frames are being suppressed, multicast and unicast frames continue to be switched.

    Cabling Requirements 10BASE-T Network When connecting a 10BASE-T segment to the front panel ports of a 9H532-24 or a 9H533-24 module, ensure that the network meets the Ethernet network requirements of the IEEE 802.3 standard for 10BASE-T. If a port is to operate at 100 Mbps, Category 5 cabling must be used.
