Port Speeds
100/10Mbps TP Ports
Each 100/10Mbps TP port provides an Auto-Negotiation function that
senses for the attached device's maximum operating speed and
automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed. Each TP port
uses RJ-45 connector that allows network TP cables to be easily
attached or removed. Users only need to connect a network device into
any TP port and the Switch will do the rest.
Crossover Connector
The last TP port in this model supports a Crossover function. The
Crossover function is used for Uplinking to a standard port on another
Switch using normal TP cable.
F Warning: You cannot use the last TP port’s regular port when you
are using the Crossover port.
