100 Mbps

This Ethernet Module is plugged into a hub running at 10 Mbps. The module is then connected to a 100 Mbps hub using CAT 5 TPE cable only.

Notes on bridging

1You can insert the Ethernet Module into a hub running at 10 or 100 Mbps.

2You don’t need to configure the speed or duplex mode.

3Do not change the duplex mode to full-duplex.

4If you’re using a straight-through TPE cable (standard cable), use the MDI port on the Ethernet Module.
