mismatched configuration cannot be detected by the printer. Communications may or may not work. If
communications appear to work, data transfers may be slow due to collisions and lost packets. These
configurations are particularly bad because they cannot be detected by either partner. Administrators
must be aware of these situations and avoid these configurations. The cells marked as "No Connection"
are detectable invalid configurations and no link is established.
