Network ConfigurationFig. 3-1 Example of ConnectionThe 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 SwitchingHub, the port is automatically configured at the highest performance mode. When a terminalor a LAN device without auto negotiation function is connected to this Switching Hub, this SwitchingHub automatically determines and sets the communication speed; however, thefull-duplex/half-duplex configuration is set at half-duplex because the full-duplex/half-duplexcapability cannot be determined. When connecting a terminal or a LAN device without autonegotiation 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.100 mor shorter100 mor shorter100 m or shorter
