Ports
RJ-45 ports (Auto MDI/MDIX): RNS5 has five 10/100 Mbps auto-sensing ports
for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX device connection. The UTP ports will auto-detect
10Base-T and 100Base-TX connections. Auto MDI/MDIX allows users to connect
another switch or workstation without changing straight through or crossover
cabling. See Figure C and C-1 for the schematic diagram of straight through and
crossover cabling.
