Chapter 3 Hardware Overview 3.1.2 Gigabit Ethernet Ports The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In 10/100/1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet, the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps and the duplex mode can be half duplex or full duplex. An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the connected device. An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straightthrough or crossover Ethernet cable. Four 1000Base-T Ethernet ports are paired with a mini-GBIC slot to create a dual personality interface. The Switch uses up to one connection for each mini-GBIC and 1000Base-T Ethernet pair. The mini-GBIC slots have priority over the Gigabit ports. This means that if a mini-GBIC slot and the corresponding GbE port are connected at the same time, the GbE port will be disabled. When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the Switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and using half duplex mode. When the Switch's auto-negotiation is turned off, an Ethernet port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet port are the same in order to connect. 3.1.2.1 Default Ethernet Negotiation Settings The factory default negotiation settings for the Gigabit ports on the Switch are: • Speed: Auto • Duplex: Auto • Flow control: Off • Link Aggregation: Disabled 3.1.2.2 Auto-crossover All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Gigabit port connections. Auto-crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or straight ports, so crossover cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs. MES-3528 User's Guide 33

3.1.2

Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The Switch has 1000Base-T auto-negotiating, auto-crossover Ethernet ports. In

10/100/1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet, the speed can be 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps or 1000

Mbps and the duplex mode can be half duplex or full duplex.

An auto-negotiating port can detect and adjust to the optimum Ethernet speed

(10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the

connected device.

An auto-crossover (auto-MDI/MDI-X) port automatically works with a straight-

through or crossover Ethernet cable.

Four 1000Base-T Ethernet ports are paired with a mini-GBIC slot to create a dual

personality interface. The Switch uses up to one connection for each mini-GBIC

and 1000Base-T Ethernet pair. The mini-GBIC slots have priority over the Gigabit

ports. This means that if a mini-GBIC slot and the corresponding GbE port are

connected at the same time, the GbE port will be disabled.

When auto-negotiation is turned on, an Ethernet port negotiates with the peer

automatically to determine the connection speed and duplex mode. If the peer

Ethernet port does not support auto-negotiation or turns off this feature, the

Switch determines the connection speed by detecting the signal on the cable and

using half duplex mode. When the Switch’s auto-negotiation is turned off, an

Ethernet port uses the pre-configured speed and duplex mode when making a

connection, thus requiring you to make sure that the settings of the peer Ethernet

port are the same in order to connect.

3.1.2.1

Default Ethernet Negotiation Settings

The factory default negotiation settings for the Gigabit ports on the Switch are:

•

Speed: Auto

•

Duplex: Auto

•

Flow control: Off

•

Link Aggregation: Disabled

3.1.2.2

Auto-crossover

All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface

Crossover), so you may use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover

Ethernet cable for all Gigabit port connections. Auto-crossover ports automatically

sense whether they need to function as crossover or straight ports, so crossover

cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs.
