The following briefly explains each field of the High Speed Interface
Configuration screen.
Port Type (Read-only)
Displays the type of interface (FE-100FX, FE-100TX, FE-100F3, or
Unknown) installed in ports 5 and 6. Figure 5-21 shows that there is an
FE-100TX interface installed in port 5 and no interface indicated by
Unknown in port 6.
Link Status (Read-only)
Indicates whether or not there is a physical connection from this port to
another 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX/FX device. One of the following
values displays:
• Link – There is a link signal present and a valid physical connection
to another device.
• No Link – There is no link signal present and no valid physical
connection to another device.
Current Oper. Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of ports 5 and 6.
Depending on whether a 100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet
Interface Module is installed, this field displays the following:
• With a 100BASE-FX interface: 100Base-FX, 100Base-FXFD (full
duplex), or N/A when the port slot is empty.
• With a 100BASE-TX interface: Unknown, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD
(full duplex), 100Base-TX, 100Base-TXFD (full duplex) or N/A when
the port slot is empty.
Desired Oper. Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an
interface in port 5 or 6. The field toggles between 100Base-FX and
100Base-FXFD (full duplex) when an FE-100FX or FE-100F3 is
installed. Section 5.14.1 describes how to configure a port with an
FE-100FX or FE-100F3.
