10BASE
‐
T/100BASE
‐
TX
Ports
AE208
P2P
Switch
series
LAN
ports
use
10/100Base
‐
TX
RJ
‐
45
(8
‐
pin
modular)
port
connectors.
The
10BASE
‐
T/100BASE
‐
TX
port
connectors
are
configured
as
MDI
‐
X
(media
‐
dependent
interface
‐
crossover).
These
ports
connect
over
straight
cables
to
the
network
interface
controller
(NIC)
card
in
a
node
or
server,
similar
to
a
conventional
Ethernet
repeater
hub.
If
you
are
connecting
it
to
an
Ethernet
hub
or
Ethernet
switch,
you
need
a
crossover
cable
unless
an
MDI
connection
exists
on
the
associated
port
of
the
attached
device.
AE208
P2P
Switch
series
LAN
ports
use
auto
sense
ports
that
are
designed
to
operate
at
10
Mb/s
or
at
100
Mb/s,
depending
on
the
connecting
device.
These
ports
support
the
IEEE
802.3u
auto
negotiation
standard,
which
means
that
when
a
port
is
connected
to
another
device
that
also
supports
the
IEEE
802.3u
standard;
the
two
devices
negotiate
for
the
best
speed
and
duplex
mode.
The
10/100Base
‐
TX
RJ
‐
45
ports
also
support
half
‐
and
full
‐
duplex
mode
operation.
Note:
Use
only
Category
5
copper
unshielded
twisted
pair
(UTP)
cable
connections
when
connecting
10/100Base
‐
TX
ports.

POTS
Ports
AE208
Gateway
uses
an
RJ
‐
11
(2
‐
pin
modular)
port
connector
for
POTS
connection
and
provides
two
TXS
POTS
ports.
