Full Duplex and Collision LED
The FDX/COLL LED uses a dual color LED to display two functions. A solid
green light indicates that Full-Duplex operation has been detected. A flashing
amber light indicates that a collision has occurred in half-duplex mode. Full-
Duplex mode is auto-negotiated on all UTP ports.
UTP Ports
The Fast EtheRx Switch has sixteen (16) 10/100Mbps UTP ports that auto-
negotiate 10/100BASE-TX connections and half- or full-duplex mode
operation. The last UTP port has two RJ-45 port connectors for support of
UTP cabling in the crossover or straight-through wiring configuration. Only
one of the two ports may be utilized.
The RJ-45 port marked
is internally crossed like all other UTP ports. By
default, all repeater and switched UTP ports are generally configured as
standard MDI-X, or internally crossed ports. With a straight-through cable, this
port can be used for cascading to a standard MDI device, such as a network
adapter or router. With a crossover cable, this port can be used for cascading to
another MDI-X device, such as a hub.
