Each 10/100Mbps TP port provides an Auto-Negotiation function that senses for the attached
device's maximum operating speed and automatically sets the Switch to operate at that speed.
Users only need to connect a network device into any TP port. Auto-MDIX is also supported on all
TP ports which allows uplinking to another Switch free of cross-over or straight cable selection
hassle.
