Ethernet Ports
RJ-45 Ports (Auto MDI/MDIX)
The RJ-45 ports are auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX or
1000Base-T devices connections. Auto MDI/MDIX means that the
switch can connect to another switch or workstation without
changing the straight-through or crossover cabling. See the figures as
below for straight-through and crossover cabling schematics.
