Abstract
A link device establishes links automatically to all 10Base-T and 100Base-TX partners regardless of their capability thereby assuring that the link device establishes links with all partners without the need to select a mode of operation manually. The modes of operation provided include 10Base-T half duplex, 100Base-TX half duplex, and 100Base-TX full duplex. The technique includes an algorithm that assures linkability between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX devices that are not 100% compliant with IEEE 802.3u, Clause 28. Using this algorithm, a link device links with 10Base-T and 100Base-TX half duplex legacy partners. Such devices also link with compliant 10Base-T and 100Base-TX auto-negotiating partners at 100Base-TX full duplex, and with non-compliant 10Base-T and 100Base-TX auto-negotiating devices at 100Base-TX half duplex.
