3. Connection233.1. Connecting a Twisted Pair Port● Connection CableUse a CAT5e-compliant straight cable (twisted pair) with 8P8C RJ45 modular plugswhen connecting.● Network Configuration100 m or shorter100 m or shorter 100 m or shorterFigure 3-1 Connection configuration exampleThe length of the cable connecting this Switching Hub and a device must be 100mor shorter. When a terminal or a LAN device with auto negotiation function is con-nected to this Switching Hub, the port is automatically configured at the highestperformance mode. When a terminal or a LAN device without auto negotiationfunction is connected to this Switching Hub, this Switching Hub automaticallydetermines and sets the communication speed; however, the full-duplex/half-duplex configuration is set at half-duplex because the full-duplex/half-duplex capa-bility cannot be determined. When connecting a terminal or a LAN device withoutauto negotiation function, a fixed-mode port configuration needs to be set. Fordetailed configuration procedure, refer to Section 4.5.4.Note: If a fixed-mode port configuration mode is set, Auto MDI/MDI-X functiondoes not work. Therefore, use a cross cable to connect them.
