Type of Cabling

Auto MDI/
MDI-X

Port Pinouts

For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3 or better 100 ohm shielded or
unshielded twisted pair cabling is required. For 100 Mbps operation,
Category 5 or Enhanced Category 5 (5E) 100 ohm shielded or unshielded
twisted pair cabling is required.
The twisted pair ports are auto-MDI/MDI-X. They automatically
configure themselves as either MDI or MDI-X. This feature allows you to
use a straight-through twisted pair cable to connect any type of network
device to a switch port.
Note
Disabling Auto-Negotiation on a port also disables Auto MDI/MDI-X
on the port. You must set the MDI/MDI-X manually through the
management software, refer to the AT-S39 Management
Software User's Guide.
Refer to Table 9 on page 85 and Table 10 on page 85 for the port
pinouts.
