Advanced Features
AutoCrossTM | AutoCrossTM automatically detects and configures the twisted pair port on the converter to the |
| correct MDI or |
| cables to be used – see figure 17. No user intervention is required. |
* Eliminates an entire category of troubleshooting
* No need to identify cable type;
* No user intervention required to determine correct button / switch settings

(IEEE 802.3u) | possible mode of operation over a link. The Industrial Switch will broadcast its speed | |
| (10Mbps, 100Mbps) and duplex (half/full) capabilities to other devices and negotiate the best | |
| mode of operation between the two devices. | |
| * No user intervention required to determine best mode of operation | |
| * Optimal link established automatically | |
| * Quick and easy installation | |
| Note: | If the Industrial Switch is connected to a |
|
| it will default to 10Mb/s speed, half duplex mode. |

Pause | PAUSE signaling is an IEEE feature that is used to temporarily suspend data transmission | |
(IEEE 802.3xy) | between two devices in the event that one of the devices becomes overwhelmed. In the event | |
| that a device needs some time to clear network congestion, it will send out a PAUSE signal to | |
| the other end device, which will then wait a | |
| transmitting the data. Transition's converters will pass PAUSE signaling unhindered; ensuring | |
| that the message is delivered to the end device. | |
| * PAUSE enabled devices allowed to work properly | |
| * Prevents loss of valuable data transmission | |
| * Reduces bottlenecks and allows for efficient use of network devices | |
| Note: | PAUSE signaling is not standardized over fiber media. Transition's Industrial Switchs |
|
| will communicate this signaling over fiber between the converters to pass this |
|
| signaling on to the other end device. |
