Viewing the Current Port Configuration

The Port Information screen displays the port type, status, link state, and flow control

in use, as well as the communication speed and duplex mode. To change any of the

port settings, use the Port Configuration menu.

Parameter Description

Type Shows port type as:

10/100TX: 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX

100FX: 100BASE-FX

1000SX: 1000BASE-SX

1000LX: 1000BASE-LX

Operational Shows if the port is functioning or not.

Link Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device.

FlowControl InUse Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can eliminate frame loss

by “blocking” traffic from end stations connected directly to the switch. Back

pressure is used for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. Note that

flow control should not be used if a port is connected to a hub.

Speed and Duplex InUse Displays the current port speed and duplex mode used. (Note that

Auto-negotiation is not available for 100BASE-FX ports.)
