Up & Connectivity is easy. Logically only the AC adapter and the LAN cables are indeed reinzustecken ... His 10/100/1000 Mbit NWay ports support a use in any network structure, regardless of whether or 10 Mbit 1000 Mbit devices are used in conjunction with them. All ports automatically detect the transfer rate (10 Mbit / 100 Mbit or 1000 Mbit) of the connected computers or network devices. The ports also automatically distinguish between full- and half-duplex mode and support flow Control.Läuft with me in continuous operation in mixed network of 3x XP clients and 1x Home Server client with Cat6 cables. No matter what kind of cable, whether or Crosslink patch, it is recognized everything. Reduce power consumption when on a port no activity is detected. In this case, each port is controlled independently of the other. For most desktop switches is expected from the work of a network cable length of 100 meters. Green Ethernet, however, can automatically detect the length of the connecting cable and adjusts the signal power. About the described features, I use additionally jumbo frames (up to 9KB) easily. Transfer rates are practically limited by the hard drive. For the price I have found nothing better.
