10/100 Mbps port on the switch should be set to auto-duplex operation when connecting to these types of devices. Setting the toggle switch to FDX on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to determine the speed but will set the duplex mode to full-duplex. -
Page 23: Fdx/Auto Gigabit Toggle Switch
As Figure 2-4 shows, a full-duplex (FDX) toggle switch or an auto-duplex (AUTO) toggle switch are assigned to each 10/100 Mbps port on the Model FS509 switch. The communication mode can be set to either full-duplex or auto-duplex mode. Note: In addition to setting the duplex toggle switches to the correct position, make sure that all Fast Ethernet topology rules are followed. -

Page 43: Appendix C Cabling Guidelines
This appendix provides specifications for cables used with the Model FS509 switch. Fast Ethernet Cable Guidelines Fast Ethernet uses UTP cable, as specified in the IEEE 802.3u standard for 100BASE-TX. The specification requires Category 5 UTP cable consisting of either two-pair or four-pair twisted insulated copper conductors bound in a single plastic sheath. -
Page 44: Category 5 Cable Specifications
The crossover function is usually implemented internally as part of the circuitry in the device. Computers and workstation adapter cards are usually media-dependent interface ports, called MDI or uplink ports. Most repeaters and switch ports are configured as media-dependent interfaces with built-in crossover ports, called MDI-X or normal ports. -
