CSG14 Series Gigabit Converter Switch | Installation and User Guide (05/08) |
connecting the CSG14’s to other unmanaged switches, legacy hubs, managed switches, media-converters etc. Please note that there can be conditions with managed switches where the switch manager fixes the port settings via software, and the result of the auto- negotiation is changed in the managed switch by the manager commands. In such cases, the 10/100/1000 speed or the F/H mode may be affected, but auto-cross in the CSG14 Switches will still work. The auto cross function cannot be disabled.
When an RJ-45 cable connection is made, and each time LINK is enabled, auto-negotiation takes place (except for legacy products, which do not have auto- negotiation and which go to the default state accordingly). The Magnum Switch advertises its capability for 10, 100 or 1000Mbps speed and F/H duplex mode, and the device at the other end of the cable should similarly advertise / respond. Both sides will agree to the speed and mode to be used per the IEEE 802.3z standard. Depending upon
