Hello,

It seems like the non-Cisco device and 3560 hardware are not compatible with

each other. When the Ethernet drivers of the switch and the finger print

device cannot negotiate physical layer parameters, they set the speed/duplex

to 10/half and report errors. If you need to use the finger print device

with 3560, please use a dumb hub/switch between the 3560 and the finger

print device

3560 -- dumb hub/switch -- finger print device.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

NT
