Hi,

I have two units of the FM-4E4U model and plan to use the four front facing Ethernet to connect directly to other appliances.

Question: Are the four (4) front facing Ethernet ports autosensing or do we need to use crossover cables?

If not autosensing is there away to make them autosensing or a link type port. I want to avoid the support when the end user plugs in the wrong cable type.

Thanks
Grant

Hello Grant

The FM-4E4U face module has auto-sensing feature. You can use both the regular and crossover cables.

Hi Gabriel,

Sorry I was not using the correct terminology.

So just to confirm the ports are automatic MDI/MDI-X

Which means we won't need to use crossover cables when connecting other devices that is, no switch in between.

Thanks
Grant

You are right.
