Auto-cross (MDIX), Auto-negotiation and Speed-sensing
The RJ-45 ports support auto-cross (MDI or MDI-X) in the
auto-negotiation mode according to the IEEE 802.3u standard. No
crossover cables are needed on RJ-45 port, when connecting the
LPH240A Series to other unmanaged switches, legacy hubs,
managed switches, media-converter etc. Please note that there can
be conditions with managed switches where the switch manager fixes
the port settings via software, and the result of the auto-negotiation is
changed in the managed switch by the manager commands. In such
cases, the 10/100 speed or the F/H mode may be affected, but auto-
cross in the LPH240A switches will still work. The auto-cross function
cannot be disabled.
When an RJ-45 cable connection is made, and each time LINK
is enabled, auto-negotiation takes place (except for legacy products,
which do not have auto-negotiation and which go to the default state
accordingly). The LPH240A Switches advertises its capability for 10 or
100 Mbps speed and F/H duplex mode, and the device at the other end
of the cable should similarly advertise/respond. Both sides will agree to
the speed and mode to be used per the IEEE 802.3u standard.
Depending upon the devices connected, this will result in agreement to
operate at either 10 Mbps or 100Mbps speed, and full- or half-duplex
mode.
