-14-  10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Switched Ports Each switched port supports one connection to a LAN segments. Each segment is an independent shared network in one collision-domain. The connection can be to either a 10BASE-T or a 100BASE-TX device.  MDI-X and MDI RJ-45 Connectors MDI-X jack is labeled [X] normally to indicate the jack is desi[...]

-15- 3.2 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet Ports The switch can support connections to the following devices: • 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-TX network cards • 10BASE-T hub ports • 100BASE-TX hub ports • 10/100BASE-TX dual speed hub ports • 10/100BASE-TX switch ports Auto-negotiation Capable The ports support auto-negotiation function when establishi[...]

-16- Flow Control Half-duplex mode uses back pressure flow control to prevent the receiv- ing buffer from being overrun by data from a source node. Full-duplex mode uses the 802.3X flow control standard to prevent fast Physical Ports data traffic from overrunning slow data traffic. UTP Cable Connections When making a connection to another device us[...]

-17- 3.3 Gigabit Ethernet Slots Each Gigabit Ethernet slot can accommodate one optional Gigabit Ether- net module for your Gigabit connection. The following modules are avail- able for selection: Module Wavelength Connector type Fiber cable 2240-SX 850nm SC Multimode fiber 2240-SXJM 850nm MT-RJ Multimode fiber Module Fiber cable used Maximum length[...]

-19- 3.4 Making T runk Connections T wo switch units can be cascaded together through any regular switched data port on each unit when a port expansion is required. However , the transfer bandwidth between the two cascaded ports is limited to 200Mbps full duplex. T o increase the bandwidth for the connection between two switch units, a trunking fun[...]

-20- Rules : 1. One switch can be configured to have up to 4 trunks and each trunk can be composed of up to 8 trunking ports. All port members of one trunk must locate in same group, either in group [port 1-port 12] or in group [port 13 - port 24]. 2. One trunking port can only belong to one trunk. 3. Only one trunk can exist between two switch uni[...]
