Default Setting: Enabled

interface.

Command Mode: Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage: When auto-negotiation is enabled the switch will negotiate

the best settings for a link based on the capabilities command. When auto-

 

negotiation is disabled, you must manually specify the link attributes with the

 

speed-duplex and flowcontrol commands.

 

If autonegotiation is disabled, auto-MDI/MDI-X pin signal configuration will also

 

be disabled for the RJ-45 ports.

 

Example: The following example configures port 11 to use autonegotiation:

 

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/11

 

Console(config-if)#negotiation

 

Console(config-if)#

 

 

capabilities

Syntax:

This command advertises

the port capabilities of a

flowcontrol symmetric}

• 1000full - Supports 1000 Mbps full-duplex operation

given interface during

• 100full - Supports 100 Mbps full-duplex operation

autonegotiation.

Use the no form with

• 100half - Supports 100 Mbps half-duplex operation

parameters to remove an

• 10full - Supports 10 Mbps full-duplex operation

advertised capability, or the

• 10half - Supports 10 Mbps half-duplex operation

no form without parameters

• flowcontrol - Supports flow control

to restore the default values.

 

• symmetric (Gigabit only) - When specified, the port transmits and receives

 

pause frames; when not specified, the port will auto-negotiate to determine

 

the sender and receiver for asymmetric pause frames. (The current switch

 

ASIC only supports symmetric pause frames.)

 

Default Settings:

 

100BASE-TX: 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full

 

1000BASE-T: 10half, 10full, 100half, 100full, 1000full

 

• SFP: 1000full

 

Command Mode: Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

 

Command Usage: When auto-negotiation is enabled with the negotiation

 

command, the switch will negotiate the best settings for a link based on the

 

capabilities command. When auto-negotiation is disabled, you must manually

 

specify the link attributes with the speed-duplex and flowcontrol commands.

 

Example: The following example configures Ethernet port 5 capabilities to

 

100half, 100full and flow control:

 

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

 

Console(config-if)#capabilities 100half

 

Console(config-if)#capabilities 100full

 

Console(config-if)#capabilities flowcontrol

 

Console(config-if)#

NXA-ENET24 specifications

The AMX NXA-ENET24 is a versatile and powerful networked control interface designed to meet the growing demands of modern AV systems. This network switch offers an exceptional combination of reliability, performance, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for professional environments such as conference rooms, educational facilities, and control rooms.

One of the key features of the NXA-ENET24 is its 24-port configuration, allowing for extensive connectivity options. Each port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds, ensuring that high bandwidth applications are handled with ease. Additionally, the switch incorporates advanced auto-negotiation technology, which automatically configures the optimal speed and duplex mode for connected devices. This ensures seamless connectivity and minimizes the risk of network disruptions.

The NXA-ENET24 is designed with advanced management capabilities, including support for VLANs, which helps to segment network traffic for enhanced security and performance. Network administrators can easily create virtual local area networks to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where multiple AV systems operate concurrently.

Another significant characteristic of the NXA-ENET24 is its support for Power over Ethernet, or PoE. This feature enables the switch to deliver electrical power alongside data through the network cables. As a result, devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points can be powered directly from the switch, simplifying deployment and reducing the need for additional power sources.

Monitoring and management of the switch are made easier through a user-friendly interface. The NXA-ENET24 supports SNMP for network management, allowing users to monitor performance metrics, configure settings, and receive alerts in case of issues. This level of oversight is crucial for maintaining the stability of AV systems in mission-critical applications.

Durability is another hallmark of the NXA-ENET24 design. The switch features a robust chassis that is engineered to withstand the rigors of professional use. With cooling mechanisms in place and a fanless design, the NXA-ENET24 operates quietly and efficiently, making it suitable for environments where noise is a concern.

In conclusion, the AMX NXA-ENET24 is a powerful, reliable, and feature-rich network switch that effectively supports modern AV applications. With its extensive connectivity options, advanced management capabilities, PoE support, and durable design, it is an excellent choice for integrators and organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure.
