Port Information
The Port Information screen displays the port status, link state, the communication
speed and duplex mode, as well as the flow control in use. To change any of the port
settings, use the Port Configuration menu. The parameters shown in the following
figure and table are for the RJ-45 ports.
Note: The port information displayed is not valid if the link status is down.
Parameter Description
Admin Status Shows if the port is enabled or not.
Link Status Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external device.
Speed Status Shows the port speed (1000M).
Duplex Status Displays the current duplex mode.
Flow Control Status Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can eliminate frame loss by
“blocking” traffic from end stations connected directly to the switch. Back
pressure is used for half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex.
