10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Ports
The Switch has 12 or 24 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports
configured as MDIX (cross-over). These ports can be set to 10BASE-T
half duplex, 10BASE-T full duplex, 100BASE-TX half duplex,
100BASE-TX full duplex, or they can automatically detect the speed and
Duplex Mode of a link and provide the appropriate connection. The
maximum segment length is 100m (328ft) over category 5 twisted pair
cable.
As these ports are configured as MDIX (cross-over), you need to use a
cross-over cable to connect to devices whose ports are MDIX-only. See
“Choosing the Correct Cables” on page 2-9 for more information.
LEDs
Table 1-1 lists the LEDs visible on the front of the Switch, and their
states according to color. For information on using the LEDs for
problem solving, see “Solving Problems Indicated by LEDs” on
page 8-2.
