10/100 N-Way Auto-Negotiation or Forced Mode
By default, Compex DS2216 is configured to auto-negotiate for a
highest possible operation mode between two nodes. Alternatively, the
users are able to manually configure the speed (10/100Mbps) and the
transmission mode (full/half duplex) of the ports.

10/100 Mbps Switching Function
A cost-effective 100Mbps and 10Mbps switching function in single
unit. Divides a network into smaller shared network groups,
eliminating unnecessary traffic, multiplying available bandwidth, and
relieving congestion on server paths.
•
10/100 Mbps Integration
16 high-speed ports permit Ethernet workgroups to communicate with
Fast Ethernet users in a single integrated network, and share servers
connected to the dedicated 100Mbps ports. Port expansion is easy by
connecting several switches and hubs together through dedicated
uplink port.

Linking Up 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Technology
One-time migration from 10Base-T to 100Base-TX technology can be
very costly. The Compex DS2216 addresses this problem by allowing
existing 10Base-T networks to communicate with 100Base-TX
networks. Performance does not degrade the switch as each 10Base-
T/100Base-TX segment continues to operate at its own speed.
Enterprise networks can be progressively upgraded, thus gradually
phasing out older segments of the network without sacrificing
interconnectivity or performance.
