Parameter	Definition

Flow	Determines if IEEE 802.3z pause control is used on this
Control	port. The pause mechanism allows the port to stop a
Mode	sending station from sending more packets if the
	receiving port’s buffers are full. This helps prevent lost
	or dropped packets.
	This feature is recommended for use primarily on end
	station connections. Using this feature on trunk ports
	can cause unnecessary congestion on the network.

Remote	Proprietary mechanism to detect remote link errors on
Fault	Cajun gigabit ports. The default value is Disabled.
Detect	The remote fault detection functionality should be
	The remote fault detection functionality should be
	enabled (on both ends of a Cajun to Cajun link) in two
	cases:
	• When two Cajun gigabit ports are connected that
	do not support auto-negotiation.
	• When a Cajun gigabit port that does not support
	auto-negotiation is connected to a Cajun gigabit
	port that does support auto-negotiation.

PACE	PACE™ Priority Mode determines if the port
Priority	detects 3Com’s proprietary PACE format as
Mode	packets pass through the port. PACE enables a
	packet’s priority to be set at the adapter. Higher
	priority packets move through the switch before
	lower packets. PACE Priority Mode is enabled by
	default. To disable PACE Priority Mode, select
	Disable from the PACE Priority Mode pull-down
	menu.
