Wiring
The wiring configuration of a port operating at 10 or 100 Mbps can be MDI
or MDI-X. The wiring configurations of a switch port and a network device
Configuration
connected with straight-through twisted pair cabling have to be opposite,
such that one device is using MDI and the other MDI-X. For instance, a
switch port has to be set to MDI-X if it is connected to a network device set
to MDI.
You may set the wiring configurations of the ports manually or let the
switch configure them automatically with auto-MDI/MDI-X (IEEE 802.3ab-
compliant). This feature enables the switch to automatically negotiate with
network devices to establish the proper settings.
The MDI and MDI-X settings do not apply when the ports are operating at
1000 Mbps.
Maximum
The ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
Distance
Power Over
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports do not support PoE.
Ethernet
Note
A switch port that is connected to a network device that does not
support Auto-Negotiation and has a fixed duplex mode of full-duplex
should not set its duplex mode with Auto-Negotiation. A duplex-
mode mismatch in which a switch port and a network device operate
at different duplex modes, may occur. The duplex modes of switch
ports that are connected to network devices that do not support
Auto-Negotiation should be set manually through the management
software.
