Auto-Negotiation

The Auto-Negotiation feature allows the CFETF10xx-205 media converter to automatically configure itself to achieve the best possible mode of operation over a link. The media converter broadcasts its speed (100 Mb/s) and duplex capabilities (full or half) to the other devices and negotiates the best mode of operation. Auto-Negotiation allows quick and easy installation because the optimal link is established automatically. No user intervention is required.

A scenario where the media converter is linked to a non-negotiating device, disable Auto-Negotiation. In this instance, the mode of operation will drop to the least common denominator between the two devices (e.g., 100 Mb/s, half-duplex). Disabling this feature enables forcing the connection to the best mode of operation.

Half-Duplex Network (512-Bit Rule)

In a half-duplex network, the maximum cable lengths are determined by the round trip delay limitations of each Fast Ethernet collision domain. (A collision domain is the longest path between any two terminal devices, e.g., a terminal, switch, or router.)

The 512-Bit Rule determines the maximum length of cable permitted by calculating the round-trip delay in bit-times (BTU) of a particular collision domain. If the result is less than or equal to 512 BTU, the path is good.

For more information on the 512-Bit Rule, see the white paper titled “Collision Domains” on the Transition Networks website at: www.transition.com
