Switch to switches (other devices)
The Switch can be connected to another switch or other devices (routers,
bridges, etc.) via a two-pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight or crossover
cable. When using straight or crossover cable, this is done from the any
(MDI/MDIX) port of the Switch to any of the 10Mbps or 100Mbps, MDI or
MDI-X port of the other switches/devices. The LNK/ACT, 100 LED indica-
tors light green for hookup to 100Mbps speed or only LNK/ACT light green
for hookup to 10Mbps speed.
Port Speed & Duplex Mode
After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses
auto-negotiation to determine the transmission mode for any new
twisted-pair connection. If the attached device does not support
auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing
process is initiated to select the speed and set the duplex mode to
half-duplex.
