Options duplex={half|full|auto}
Determines the mode the Digi device uses to communicate on the
Ethernet network. Specify one of the following:
half
The device communicates in half-duplex mode.
full
The device communicates in full-duplex mode.
auto
The device senses the mode used on the network and adjusts
automatically.
The default is "half." The value you specify for this option must match
the option used by the peer. In other words, if the other side is using
auto (negotiating), this device must use "auto." If the other side is set for
half-duplex, this side must use "half."
speed={10|100|auto}
Configures the throughput rate the Digi device will use on the Ethernet
network. Specify an appropriate setting for your Ethernet network, which
can be one of the following:
10
The device operates at 10 megabits per second (Mbps) only.
100
The device operates at 100 Mbps only.
auto
The device senses the throughput rate of the network and adjust
automatically.
The default is "auto." The value you specify for this option must match
the option used by the peer. In other words, if the other side is using
auto (negotiating), this device must use "auto." If the other side is set for
100 Mbps, this side must use "100."
