Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection

The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect EDS-208’s 10/100BaseTX ports to any kind of Ethernet device, regardless of how the Ethernet cable is wired. This means that you can use either a straight-throughcable or cross-overcable to connect EDS-208 to Ethernet devices.

Dual Speed Functionality and Switching

EDS208’s 10/100 Mbps switched RJ45 port auto negotiates with the connected device for the fastest data transmission rate supported by both devices. All models of EDS-208 are plug-and-play devices, so that software configuration is not required at installation, or during maintenance. The half/full duplex mode for the switched RJ45 ports is user dependent and changes (by auto-negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which transmission speed is supported by the attached device.
