This section explains each ﬁeld of the Full Duplex Conﬁguration screen.

PORT # (Read-only)

Identiﬁes the number of the port.

OPERATION MODE (Toggle)

Allows the user to set the speciﬁed port to transmit and receive data

separately (Standard) or simultaneously (Full Duplex). Set this ﬁeld to

one of the following values:

• STANDARD ENET – The port is running at 10 Mbps (default) and

either transmits data or receives data, but not both at the same time. To

set Ethernet ports for Standard operation, refer to Section 5.11.1.

• FULL DUPLEX – The port transmits and receives data

simultaneously at 10 Mbps, thus enabling the port to effectively switch

at 20 Mbps. To set Ethernet ports for Full Duplex operation, refer to

Section 5.11.1.

LINK STATUS (Read-only)

Indicates whether there is a physical connection from this port to another

10BASE-T device. One of the following values displays:

• Link – There is a 10BASE-T link signal present; there is a valid

physical connection from this port to another 10BASE-T device.

• No Link – No 10BASE-T link signal present; there is no valid physical

connection from this port to another 10BASE-T device.

PORT STATUS (Read-only)

Indicates whether the port was turned on or off administratively. One of

the following values is displayed:

• ENABLED – The port is turned on administratively.

• DISABLED – The port is turned off administratively.
