Port Connections 10BASE-T Ports

The Switch has 12 or 24 10BASE-T ports configured as MDIX (cross-over). The maximum segment length is 100m (328ft) over Category 3, 4, or 5 twisted pair cable.

As these ports are configured as MDIX (cross-over), you need to use a cross-over cable to connect to devices whose ports are MDIX-only. See “Choosing the Correct Cables” on page 31 for more information.

10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports

The Switch has two auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports configured as MDIX (cross-over). These ports can be set to 10BASE-T half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex, 100BASE-TX full duplex, or they can automatically detect the speed and duplex mode of a link and provide the appropriate connection. The maximum segment length is 100m (328ft) over Category 5 twisted pair cable.

As these ports are configured as MDIX (cross-over), you need to use a cross-over cable to connect to devices whose ports are MDIX-only. See “Choosing the Correct Cables” on page 31 for more information.
