Connecting 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Networks

The 10/100 ports can each be connected to either a
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. If you have both types
of network, you can join them together using the Switch
allowing all your workstations to communicate.
Alternatively, if you use 10BASE-T and want to improve
network performance by introducing 100BASE-TX
technology, the Switch protects your existing workstations
because it maintains 10BASE-T connections to them.
