The Industrial Gigabit PoE+ Switch performs
"Store and Forward"
; therefore, no error packets
occur. More reliably, it reduces the re-transmission rate. No packet loss will occur.
4.5 Auto-Negotiation
The STP ports on the Industrial Gigabit
PoE+
Switch have built-in
“Auto-negotiation”
. This
technology automatically sets the best possible bandwidth when a connection is established with
another network device (usually at Power On or Reset). This is done by detecting the modes and
speeds at the second of both devices that are connected and capable of. Both 10Base-T and
100Base-TX devices can connect with the port in either Half- or Full-Duplex mode. 1000Base-T can
be only connected in Full-duplex mode.
