Chapter 3: Configuration

when Auto Negotiation is not desired by configuring using DIP Switches #8 and #9.

3.5 Auto Negotiation

The HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) ships from the factory with Auto Negotiation enabled on the DATA port. In this mode, the DATA port negotiates for speed and duplex (i.e., the module detects 10 Mbps Full-Duplex, 10 Mbps Half-Duplex, 100 Mbps Full-Duplex or 100 Mbps Half-Duplex with Flow Control). Configure Auto Negotiation on an HDMCII VDSL2 LAN Extender Module (Extended Temp) by adjusting the DIP Switch #5 (for unmanaged modules) or via the management software (for managed modules).

3.6 Selective Advertising

Selective Advertising (DIP Switch #7), when used in combination with Auto Negotiation, advertises only the configured speed and duplex mode for the DATA port. If Selective Advertising and Auto Negotiation are both switched ON, the DATA port’s speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and Duplex mode (FDX or HDX) are selectively advertised individually per switch setting #5 and #7.

NOTE

If you require a specific speed and/or duplex mode, Black Box recommends using Selective Advertising rather than Force Mode when connecting the modules to devices that can ONLY Auto Negotiate. Selective Advertising is NOT an option when you disable Auto Negotiation.

3.7 SNMP Management

Once the DIP Switches have been set on each module to enable one to be a Host and the other a Remote, the Host can be installed in a High-Density Media Converter System II chassis that includes an installed SNMP Management Module. The Host VDSL2 module then manages the Remote VDSL2 module via the SNMP software iView2 .
