is to be opened when a link alarm occurs.
D In the "Autonegotiation" column, you can activate the automatic selection
of a port's operating mode by marking the appropriate field. After the au

tonegotiation has been switched on, it takes a few seconds for the oper-
ating mode to be set.

possible operating modes are:

– 100 Mbit/s FDX.
D In the "Port Priority" column, you can specify the priority (in the range 0 to
7, default 0) with which the switch sends data packets which it receives
without a VLAN tag at this port.
Note: The active automatic configuration has priority over the manual
configuration.
