Page 27: Verifying Installation
When connecting any of the 10/100 Mbps ports on the switch to a hub, set the port to AUTO. The switch must also be set to AUTO when connecting to any device that does not use NWay auto-negotiation to detect the operating mode. Setting the toggle switch to AUTO will cause the port to default to half-duplex mode when connecting to a port that does not use NWay auto-negotiation. -

Page 39: Twisted Pair Cables
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. -
Page 40: Patch Panels And Cables
If you are using patch panels, make sure that they meet the 100BASE-TX requirements. NETGEAR recommends Category 5 UTP cable for all patch cables and work area cables to ensure that your UTP patch cable rating meets or exceeds the distribution cable rating. -
