10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports
These ports are dual-speed RJ-45 ports with built-in wiring
crossovers. Each TigerSwitch 100 equipped with 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX ports will contain at least one straight-through
(daisy-chain) port. This port is used for straight-through cable
connections to other devices (i.e., hubs or switches) which have
ports with built-in crossovers.
Figure 1-4. 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ports
Each 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port supports Auto-Negotiation, so
the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex) and data
rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) are selected automatically. If a
device connected to one of these ports does not support Auto-
Negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be
configured manually.
100BASE-FX Ports (SMC6608M only)
The 100BASE-FX ports are fitted with SC or ST connectors
(depending on the module) and operate exclusively at 100
Mbps. However, the transmission mode for these ports is
adjustable to full- or half-duplex and must be set manually.
