4.0 OPERATION
4.1 Dual-Speed Functionality, and Switching The PXES4P Series Switches provide
four switched ports (three ports in the front and one on the rear). The architecture supports
a dual speed switching environment, with auto-negotiation capability.
The switched RJ-45 ports are full-duplex and auto-sensing for speed. (See section
2.2). When the connected device is 10 Mbps, the PXES4P obeys all the rules of 10 Mbps
Ethernet configurations. The 10 Mbps users share a 10 Mbps traffic domain, and can
“communicate with” 100Mbps users as well as 100Mbps domain. Similarly, the 100Mbps
traffic obeys the rules of 100Mbps Ethernet, and can communicate with 10 Mb domain too.
PXES4P Series is plug-and-play device. There is no software configuring to be
done at installation or for maintenance. The internal functions of both are described below.
