FDX Flow Ctrl
This setting enables or disables flow control for the port when the port’s Speed is set to Auto. The
final result will be determined by the Auto process between the Weidmüller switch and connected
devices.
Setting
Description
Factory
Default
Enable
Enables flow control for this port when the
port’s Speed is set to Auto.
Disabled
Disable
Disables flow control for this port when the
port’s Speed is set to Auto.
MDI/MDIX
Setting
Description
Factory
Default
Auto
Allows the port to auto-detect the port type of
the connected Ethernet device and change the
port type accordingly.
Auto
MDI
Choose MDI or MDIX if the connected Ethernet
device has trouble auto-negotiating for port
type.

Note about Auto-Negotiation (possible lost of data packages in case of “Duplex
mismatching”)
If an active AutoNeg-Port of the Switch is connected to a non-negotiating device, then the
Switch will set its port transmission speed same as the connected device but is unable to
correctly detect the duplex mode. As result the AutoNeg-port is set to the correct speed
but is using always the half duplex mode as required by the IEEE 802.3u standard in such
cases. For correct transmission between an AutoNeg-Port and a non-negotiating port the
port with fixed values has to be set to half-duplex mode (speed either 10 or 100 Mbit/s).
3.1.5 Network Parameters
Network configuration allows users to configure both IPv4 and IPv6 parameters for management
access over the network. The Weidmüller switch supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and can be managed
through either of these address types.
