The EISM5-100T is designated as a 5-port miniature switching hub. One port has an extra socket allowing it to be used as an uplink port to connect two switches together, thereby eliminating the need for a crossover cable. This unit is similar in function and capabilities to its EIS8-100T counterpart. It divides the Ethernet network into as many as five separate collision domains. It terminates the collision domain at each port. It functions as a "bridge" between these various data links — creating a larger network diameter than can be achieved with repeating hubs. Each port automatically negotiates with its attached device the data rate (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex (full- or half-duplex) for that port. The flow control mechanism is also negotiated. For full-duplex segments, the PAUSE scheme is used. For half-duplex segments, the backpressure method is automatically invoked.
