ABOUT THE TIGERSWITCH 100

Switch Ports

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports

These ports are dual-speed RJ-45 ports with built-in wiring crossovers. Each TigerSwitch 100 equipped with 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX ports will contain at least one straight-through (daisy-chain) port. This port is used for straight-through cable connections to other devices (i.e., hubs or switches) which have ports with built-in crossovers.

Figure 1-4. 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports

Each 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port supports Auto-Negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex) and data rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) are selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support Auto- Negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.

100BASE-FX Ports (SMC6608M only)

The 100BASE-FX ports are fitted with SC or ST connectors (depending on the module) and operate exclusively at 100 Mbps. However, the transmission mode for these ports is adjustable to full- or half-duplex and must be set manually.
