MDI/MDI-X autocrossover
With the MDI/MDI-X autocrossover function, the Ethernet port automatically selects the correct

• Damage to the device
• Loss of the approvals
• Violation of the EMC regulations
Use only approved pluggable transceivers.
Note
Plugging and pulling during operation
You can plug and pull pluggable transceivers with the device in operation.
NOTICE
Failure of the data traffic due to contamination of optical plug-in connections
Optical sockets and plugs are sensitive to contamination of the end face. Contamination can
lead to the failure of the optical transmission network. Take the following precautions to avoid
functional impairments:
• Clean the end face of field-assembled connectors carefully before connecting. No residues
• Only remove the dust caps of optical transceivers and pre-configured cables shortly before
