The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port may be connected to an
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet device, such as a hub, workstation,
server or another switch. The port supports Auto-Negotiation, so
the optimum data rate and operating mode—10 or 100 Mbps and
half or full duplex—is selected automatically. However, if the
other device does not support Auto-Negotiation, the data rate and
operating mode can be forced to 100 Mbps full duplex via the
100Full/Auto toggle switch on the front of the module. Note that
if an attached device does not support Auto-Negotiation and
operates at 10 Mbps full duplex, then you can only configure the
module’s port to the correct settings using the Network
Management Module.
The 100BASE-FX port can be connected to a remote site with up
to 2 km (1.24 mi.) of fiber cable in full-duplex mode or up to
412 m (1,351.4 ft.) in half-duplex mode. The operating mode can
be set manually using the Full/Half toggle switch on the front of
the module. Note that this module operates only at 100 Mbps.
