Model FS516/FS524 Fast Ethernet Switch Installation Guide
Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Model FS516/FS524 switch has full-duplex (FDX) and
auto-duplex (AUTO) toggle switches, fans for cooling, and a standard AC power
receptacle for the supplied power cord.
FDX/AUTO Duplex Toggle Switches
Full-duplex mode is supported for all 10/100 Mbps ports and allows a port to
transmit and receive data at the same time. Full-duplex operation applies only to
point-to-point access (for example, when a switch is connected to a PC, a server,
or another switch).
Setting the toggle switch to AUTO on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to
determine duplex mode automatically. In this mode, the 10/100 Mbps port
operates in either full- or half-duplex mode, depending on the operating mode of
the remote port. If supported by the remote node, the port will establish a 100
Mbps full-duplex link as the default. If the remote port cannot provide the
proper signal to indicate its own capability, the 10/100 Mbps port on the switch
defaults to half-duplex mode. Because repeaters and hubs use a common
collision domain for all communications and cannot communicate in full-duplex
mode, the associated 10/100 Mbps port on the switch should be set to auto-
duplex operation when connecting to these types of devices.
Setting the toggle switch to FDX on the 10/100 Mbps port enables the port to
determine the speed but will set the duplex mode to full-duplex.
