ports for flexible connections to desktop PCs, servers and hubs.
The 10/100BASE-TX switched ports support:
- auto speed sensing for 100Mbps or 10Mbps connection
- auto configuration with auto-negotiation devices
Self learning for network configuration
Store and forward switching to ensure only good packets are forwarded
Full-duplex or half-duplex operation support for all switched ports
Forwarding and filtering at full wire speed
Support IEEE 802.3x flow control for full-duplex operation
Support back-pressure flow control for half-duplex operation
Comprehensive LED indicators provide quick, easy to read port
