Product Features
Device
Auto-Negotiation
The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the CFETF10xx-110 media converter to
automatically configure itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a
link. The media converter broadcasts its speed (100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities
(full or half) to the other devices and negotiates the best mode of operation. Auto-
Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the optimal link is
established automatically. No user intervention is required to determine the best
mode of operation.
A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device is a case
where the user may want to disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance, the mode of
operation will drop to the least common denominator between the two devices (e.g.
100 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature gives the user the ability to force the
connection to the desired speed and duplex mode of operation.
AutoCross™
When the AutoCross feature is activated, it allows either straight-through (MDI) or
crossover (MDI-X) copper cables to be used when connecting to 100Base-TX
devices. AutoCross determines the characteristics of the connection and
automatically configures the unit to link up, regardless if the copper cable is MDI or
MDI-X configuration.
