Ports
n
RJ-45 Port.
This Ethernet RJ-45 supports both shielded
and unshielded cabling systems. The port either
auto-negotiates the 10/100Mbit/s network speed or can be
forced by DIP switch 1 into a 100Mbit/s full-duplex mode. In
addition, the port uses auto MDI/MDIX detection which
eliminates the need for cross-over cables when connecting
to LAN switches or workstations.
n
Fiber Port.
This port is for the 100 Base-FX connection to
the distant media converter, NIC card or Ethernet switch.
The port operates in either full duplex or half duplex modes
depending on the setting of DIP switch 2.
