BRIM-E100 Setup

5.3.1 FE-100TX Configuration

In normal operation the BRIM-E100 automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the segment and no user setup is required. This section provides instructions for manually configuring the BRIM-E100 with an FE-100TX module installed. The BRIM-E100 Setup screen (see Figure 5-1) must be accessed through Local Management before proceeding with the following steps.

Desired Operational Mode

Use this field to set the active technology. This field steps between Auto-Negotiation, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). If Auto-Negotiation is selected, the BRIM-E100 automatically sets the active technology. Use the following steps to manually set the active technology through Local Management:

1.Use the ARROW keys to highlight Desired Operational Mode and use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode. Press ENTER. If any mode other than Auto-Negotiation is selected, the BRIM-E100 only operates in the chosen mode and auto-negotiation is disabled.

2.Use the ARROW keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER. The message “Save Done!” appears and Local Management saves the changes to memory. The selected mode is now displayed in both the Desired Operational Mode field and the Current Operational Mode field.

Advertised Ability

In normal operation the BRIM-E100 auto-negotiates to the highest speed possible. Under some circumstances, the Network Administrator may want the BRIM-E100 to advertise only some of the available modes and not operate in other modes. This field steps between 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). Use the following steps to set the advertised ability:

1.Use the ARROW keys to highlight Advertised Ability and use the SPACE bar to select the mode you wish to enable or disable. Use the RIGHT-ARROW key to move across to the Enable/Disable field to the right of the selection. Use the SPACE bar to select Enable or Disable. Press ENTER.
