Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection
The Auto MDI/MDI-X function allows users to connect the EDS’s
10/100/1000Base-T(X) ports to any kind of Ethernet device, without
needing to pay attention to the type of Ethernet cable being used for the
connection. This means that you can use either a straight-through cable
or cross-over cable to connect the EDS to Ethernet devices.
Triple Speed Functionality and Switching
The Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s 10/100/1000 Mbps switched RJ45 port
auto negotiates with the connected device for the fastest data
transmission rate supported by both devices. All models of Moxa
EtherDevice Switch are plug-and-play devices, so that software
configuration is not required at installation, or during maintenance. The
half/full duplex mode for the switched RJ45 ports is user dependent and
changes (by auto-negotiation) to full or half duplex, depending on which
transmission speed is supported by the attached device.
Jumbo Frame
By default, EDS-G205A-4PoE series supports Ethernet jumbo frame up to
9.6K which is with more than 1500 bytes of payload. This is commonly
used for large packet size applications such as video surveillance.
Broadcast Storm Protection
The EDS-G205A-4PoE Series has built-in algorithm for limiting the
amount of broadcast packets through the switch. This function is by
default enabled and can be disabled by turning off the DIP switch labeled
"BSP" on the top cover. If the broadcast storm protection algorithm
detects more than 2k broadcast frames per second, then the switch will
be suppressed from receiving broadcast frames for a period of 2ms to
prevent any further flooding.
