Auto-Negotiation - NETGEAR FS728TS Hardware Installation Manual

Hardware Installation Guide for the Prosafe Stackable Smart Switch FS700TS Series

Auto-negotiation

The RJ-45 ports negotiate the correct duplex mode and speed if the device at the other end of the
link supports auto negotiation. If the device does not support auto negotiation, the switch only
determines the speed correctly and the duplex mode defaults to half-duplex.
The gigabit port on the Gigabit module negotiates speed, duplex mode, and flow control, provided
that the attached device supports auto-negotiation.
