A feature on twisted pair ports that allows them to advertise their capabilities for speed, duplex and flow control. When connected to a port that also supports auto-negotiation, the link can automatically configure itself to the optimum setup.
Allows 10/100 Mpbs or 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports to establish for the following features: Duplex/ Half Duplex Mode Flow Control Speed
A mechanism that controls the data when a connection is established to a network device. It automatically switches to the correct technology in the following sequence: 100Base-TX, Full Duplex 100Base-T4 100Base-TX 10Base-T, Full Duplex 10Base-T With the following benefits: Automatic Connection Backward Compatibility Network Protection Technology Extension Path Upgrade Management Interface Proprietary Extension
A feature on a port that allows it to advertize its capabilities for speed, duplex and flow control. When connected to a port that also supports auto-negotiation, the link can automatically configure itself to the optimum setup.
The auto-negotiation function automatically recognizes whether the connected devices support 100BASE-TX and Full Duplex. 100BASE-TX and Full Duplex provide communications at the speed of as high as 200Mbs theoretically. This high-speed communication becomes available only when both devices support such standards. If either of them does not support such standards, communication will be carried out in accordance with the slower communication standards as shown below: - For communications between devices supporting 100BASE-TX - 10BASE-T - When one device supports Full Duplex while the other does Half Duplex - Half Duplex
Procedure for adjusting line speeds and other communication parameters automatically between two computers during data transfer.
A Protocol defined in the Ethernet standard that allows devices at either end of a link segment to advertise and negotiate modes of operation such as the speed of the link, half- or full-duplex operation and full-duplex flow control.
