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 connect them using the Switch so that
all your workstations can communicate. Alternatively, if you
use 10BASE-T and want to improve performance by
introducing 100BASE-TX, the Switch protects your
investments because it maintains 10BASE-T connections to
your original network equipment.
