replies: text: Is that personal observation or some actual data? My guess is that most are Auto-MDIX now days. Hardly worth the support calls since it is included on all modern PHY chips. W Nowicki (talk) 19:23, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Due to the previous comment regarding merging, and 4 month inactivity otherwise I have decided I will merge the articles (I am stating this for the purpose of tracking changes, not as an authority; though I can't see anyone wanting this to be split in the near future).

thread_title:  Merging [[MDIX]] with this article. 

message: Please note that the page Talk:MDIX contains some information that is now relevant here, but I did not want to move peoples' comments.
I merged the articles and cut some redundant information, but the article could use some editing to improve it. I lack the artistic vision to pull it off, but if someone is interested I think it could look better. Tyler 19:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: After the merge

message: Merge banners were up for 6 months with no discussion so I took the liberty of merging Auto-MDIX into this article. --Kvng (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Auto-MDIX merge

message: :Auto-MDIX was spawned one day when Melvin was frustrated while looking for a cross-over cable in the lab, and asked Dove to invent a solution. His inspiration led Dan to develop the method which utilizes a pseudo-random number generator to decide whether or not a network port will attach its transmitter, or its receiver to each of the twisted pairs used to Auto-Negotiate the link.
 
Will try to gather sources and add more encyclopedic language. W Nowicki (talk) 18:28, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uncited anecdote 

message: This is being moved from my talk page because it was by a non-registered user:
:I could not understand if auto mdix works only if the two devices have support for it, or if it works whenever one of the devices supports it.
:If you could answer this, I'd be more than glad to fix the page. Thanks  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.33.50.202 (talk) 06:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: The terminology used on this page is a little confusing at times. 
In some cases "MDI-X" is used, and in others "MDIX" is used. 
What is the accepted (correct) usage? I'm trying to justify changing the references in a User Guide and it's difficult to make my point when there's conflicting information like this.

replies: text: IEEE 802.3-2012 uses "MDI-X", so that'd be the offically correct usage. Zac67 (talk) 09:48, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
