Switch To Switch ( Other Devices ); Port Speed & Duplex Mode - TRENDnet TE100-S8P User Manual

Switch to switch (or other Ethernet devices)
You can connect a switch or other Ethernet devices (10BASE-
T or 100BASE-TX) to this Switch via a two-pair Category 3, 4,
5 UTP/STP cable (use Category 5 for 100Mbps connection).
The connection is accomplished from the any RJ -45 port on the
device to any RJ-45 port on the Switch. After connecting the
hub to the Switch, the Switch's Port LED indicator will light
according to the hub's connection speed. If the port LED
indicator does not light after making a proper connection,
check the device, the cable, and the Switch's functionality.
Each port on the Switch has auto-MDI function; you can make
the connection using crossover or straight through cable with
uplink port or regular port from the device.
Port Speed & Duplex Mode
After a connection is made the Switch uses auto-negotiation to
determine the transmission mode for this twisted-pair
connection.
If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or
has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is
initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to half-
duplex.
Note: Only the 5-port model has Full-Duplex LED indicators.
