... the perfect choice for existing (10Mbps) Ethernet workgroups. Since all ports support 200Mbps, any port can provide workstations with its eight ports may be used to cascade to an additional switch to a rapidly growing network through a wide range of user-reliable functions. The DSS-8+ is effectively allocated for 10Mbps or 100Mbps shared-bandwidth workgroups. The...

Port Speed & Duplex Mode After plugging the selected cable to a specific port, the system uses auto-negotiation to select the speed and half-duplex mode is selected. 10 If the attached device does not support auto-negotiation or has auto-negotiation disabled, an auto-sensing process is initiated to determine the transmission mode, autodetecting the network speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps) for any new twisted-pair connection.
