Check that you are using the appropriate type of twisted pair cabling. Refer to “Twisted Pair Cabling and Distances” on page 25 for twisted pair cable specifications.
Since the twisted pair port, when operating in Auto-Negotiation, is Auto MDI/MDI-X, you can use either a straight-through or crossover twisted pair cable to connect any type of network device to a port on the switch. If you disable Auto-Negotiation on the port, the port defaults to MDI-X.
