Panel Display

The web agent displays an image of the switch’s ports. The Mode can be set to display different information for the ports, including Active (i.e., up or down), Duplex (i.e., half or full duplex), or Flow Control1. Clicking on the image of a port opens the Port Configuration page as described on page 3-88.
