Ethernet switch features
The Contivity 100 unit seven-port 10/100 Ethernet switch offers:
•
Seven RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-T autosensing Ethernet ports with
autonegotiation capability. The eighth port is used internally to connect to the
internal Ethernet controller.
•
Comprehensive 10/100 Link/Activity LEDs indicating link and activity
status.
•
Full-duplex (FDX) and half-duplex (HDX) mode support with one indicator
LED per port.
•
MDI (uplink or crossover)/MDI-X (normal or straight-through) autosensing
capability.
•
Store-and-forward switching architecture.
•
1 MB buffer memory.
When you plug an Ethernet cable into a port, the Ethernet switch:
•
Autosenses the transmission speed (10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s) of the connected
device.
•
Autonegotiates with the connected device to operate in full- or half-duplex
mode. If the connected device is operating in half-duplex mode only, or does
not have the capability to participate in the autonegotiation process, the port
defaults to half-duplex mode.
•
Autosenses whether the cable is MDI or MDI-X.
RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports
The RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports connect the Ethernet switch
to network devices using standard unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The
Ethernet switch does not support shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. Each port
adapts to the correct network speed of 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s through
autonegotiation with the network interface card (NIC), hub, or other Ethernet
switch connected to the unit.
