Modifying Link Configurations
By default, the Safe@Office automatically detects the link speed and duplex. If
desired, you can manually restrict the Safe@Office appliance's ports to a specific
link speed and duplex.
Note: In the Safe@Office 500 model SBX-166LHG-2, restricting the link speed and
duplex is available for the WAN and DMZ ports, and not for LAN ports 1-4.
To modify a port's link configuration
1. Click Network in the main menu, and click the Ports tab.
The Ports page appears.
2. In the Link Configuration drop-down list to the right of the port, do one of the
following:
• Select the desired link speed and duplex.
• Select Automatic Detection to configure the port to automatically detect
the link speed and duplex.
This is the default.
3. Click Apply.
The port uses the specified link speed and duplex.
