Auto-Negotiation

When the Auto-Negotiation feature is activated, the media converter configures itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link automatically. The media converter broadcasts its speed (100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (either full- or half-duplex)and negotiates the best mode of operation between the two devices.
