Configuring Ethernet Mode
The Ethernet mode is configurable for line speed (10/100BaseT) and
duplex mode (half or full duplex). This mode provides an Auto detect
feature where the line speed and duplex mode are detected
automatically using auto negotiation. Use the manual configuration
when external equipment does not support auto negotiation. The
default setting is Auto Detect.
The maximum Ethernet Information Rate can be limited via the pull
down menu. The default setting is Best Effort.
Note:
It is not recommended to configure the port that is used for the
management connection, since a wrong configuration can cause
management disconnection or Ethernet services interruption.
Æ To configure the Ethernet Mode:
1. From the Configuration menu, select the site to reconfigure.
The Site Configuration dialog box opens.
2. Click Advanced > Ethernet.
3. In the Ethernet Ports Configuration pane, use the drop-down menu
to select the LAN configuration.
