port on the switch and the end-node are
operating at the same speed and that they are
communicating at the highest possible common
speed of the devices.
Duplex Mode
Duplex mode refers to the way an end-node
sends and receives data on the network. An
end-node can operated in either half- or full-
duplex mode depending on its capabilities. An
end-node that is operating in half-duplex mode
can either send data or receive data, but it
cannot do both at the same time. An end-node
that is operating in full-duplex mode can send
and receive data simultaneously. The best
network performance is achieved when an end-
node can operate at full-duplex, since the end-
node is able to send and receive data
simultaneously.
The twisted pair ports on the AT-FS708LE
switch can operate in either half-duplex or full-
duplex mode. The switch sets the duplex mode
automatically through Auto-Negotiation. With
Auto-Negotiation, if an end-node is capable of
full-duplex, the port is set automatically to full-
duplex mode. If an end-node is capable of half-
duplex, the port is set automatically to half-
duplex mode.
