3Com TR manual Setting Port ID, Viewing Link State

Port Configuration

Port parameters can also be set from the LCD console on the Switch 2000 TR front panel. If you have made settings using the VT100 interface, those settings will be reflected in the LCD console. Refer to Chapter 3 for more information on navigating the LCD console and the LCD console map.

The screens are circular, meaning that you can access them by scrolling either up or down. For the sake of simplicity, these instructions use only the Down Arrow to move through the screens.

You can set these parameters using the LCD console:

■Port ID

■Link State

■Port State

■Speed Mode

■Personality

Refer to the LCD Console menu map (Figure 3-9) for more information.
