3.8.2 Connections to NICs which support Auto-Negotiation, RJ-45 ports
The copper ports of Magnum S14-Series Convenient Switches will function
properly with NICs (Network Interface Cards) which support Auto-Negotiation, and the
Fast Link Pulse (FLP) coding for the 100BASE-TX signaling system. When connecting a
NIC to the S14-Sereis, it may be necessary to reload the NIC drivers on the user device if
the NIC has been communicating with a protocol other than 100BASE-TX (such as
10BASE-T). When 100Mb operation is agreed and in use, the 10/100 LED is illuminated
steady ON and is OFF, if 10 Mbps traffic.
