3.1. Connection Using a Twisted Pair Port
Connection Cable
Use a CAT5E or higher twisted pair cable with 8P8C RJ45 modular plug.
Network Configuration
Fig. 3-1 Example of Connection
The length of the cable connecting this Switching Hub and a device must be
100 m or shorter. When a terminal or a LAN device with auto negotiation
function is connected to this Switching Hub, the port is automatically
configured at the highest performance mode. When a terminal or a LAN
device without auto negotiation function is connected to this Switching Hub,
this Switching Hub automatically determines and sets the communication
speed; however, the full-duplex/half-duplex configuration is set at
half-duplex because the full-duplex/half-duplex capability cannot be
determined. When connecting a terminal or a LAN device without auto
negotiation function, a fixed-mode port configuration needs to be set.
Note:
If a fixed-ode port configuration is set, Auto-MDI/MDI-X function
does not work. Therefore, use a cross cable to connect them.
