You cannot disable automatic MDIX detection. For automatic MDIX
detection to work properly, this feature must also be present on the
Ethernet switch. The LAN port defaults to MDIX if it is connected to a
network device that does not support automatic MDIX detection.
The minimum cable requirements for the ports are listed here.
100 Mbps port: Standard TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Category 3
shielded or unshielded cabling.
1/2.5/5Gbps port: Standard TIA/EIA 568-A-compliant Category 5 or
TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e) unshielded
cabling.
The LAN ports have a maximum operating distance of 100 meters (328
feet).
See Table 7 on page 58 for port pinouts information.
Here are the guidelines to using the LAN1 and LAN2 ports:
If you are connecting only one LAN port to your network, you have
to use port LAN1.
The default setting for the LAN1 port is enabled. You cannot
disable it.
The default setting for LAN2 is disabled. To activate it, use the
on-board web browser management interface.
To use the LAN1 and LAN2 ports as a static LAG, you have to
connect them to the same network device, such as an Ethernet
switch or router, or virtual stacking devices. Do not connect the
LAN ports to different network devices. The network device has to
support static LAGs.
Caution
When using LAN1 and LAN2 ports as a static LAG, do not activate
the LAN2 port until you have configured the ports on the network
device to which the LAN ports are connected as a static LAG. Refer
to the documentation for the network device for instructions.
To activate the Cascade mode for LAN2, use the on-board web
browser management interface.
