3.2 RJ-45 Auto-negotiating Ports
The switch comes with 5 or 8 10/100/1000M RJ-45 ports
depending on the model of your switch. The auto-
negotiation feature allows the switch to detect the speed
of incoming transmission and adjust appropriately without
manual intervention. It allows data transfers of 10 Mbps,
100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps in either half-duplex or full-
duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
3.3 Auto-crossover Ethernet Ports
All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports
(Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may use
either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover
Ethernet cable for all Ethernet port connections. Auto-
crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to
function as crossover or straight ports, so crossover
cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs.
Refer to the Product Specifications section for the types
of network cable used for the different connection
speeds.
