3.2 SETTING PORT SPEED
Use the LCM speed command to select a bandwidth of 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps for each port. The options include:
• auto - (default) Allows the FN100 to auto-detect the maximum
bandwidth available for the port(s) based on the existing connection.
• 10 - Lets you manually set the bandwidth for specified port(s) to 10
Mbps (excluding ports with 100BASE-FX connections).
• 100 - Lets you manually set the bandwidth for specified port(s) to 100
Mbps (limited to the maximum available port speed).
The full syntax for the command is as follows:
speed <PORTS> <auto|10|100>
For example, to manually set the port speed on port 7 to 100 Mbps:
FN100 > speed 7 100
LCM responds:
Port 7 Speed: 100
Use the speed <PORTS> command to display existing port speed settings.
For example, to display ports speed settings for ports 1-5:
FN100 > speed 1-5
LCM responds:
Port 1 Speed: auto (100)
Port 2 Speed: auto (100)
Port 3 Speed: auto (100)
Port 4 Speed: auto (10)
Port 5 Speed: auto (10)
NOTE
When you change the subnet mask for a port, you must also
enter the IP address for that port. Be sure to enter the port’s IP
address correctly; whatever you enter becomes the IP address.
