USER-SELECTIVE PARAMETERS

The TE100-S55 is factory set with a unique Ethernet MAC address. Except for the MAC address, Version Number and Port State, all parameters in Table 3-2can be modified.

From the Switch Configuration menu, you can change the IP Address of TE100-S55 to match the TCP/IP environment of your network. The Gateway Address may also be changed to match the Gateway of your network.

From the Port Configuration menu, you can Enable/Disable each port connection , and prioritize them (ranges from 0 to 255). The priority level, in conjunction with the preset port ID, is used under the Spanning Tree Algorithm to determine the “Root Port”. The Port State parameter corresponds to the Enable/Disable port settings and the dynamic changes in routing paths of the surrounding network. The Port State may show message Blocking, Learning, Listening, Forwarding or Disable, at any given time.

The Port Physical setting defaults to AUTO, but you can change it to 100Mb half duplex, 100Mb full duplex, 10Mb half duplex, or 10Mb full duplex mode. Although optional, the AUTO setting is recommended since it employs the NWAY Auto-negotiation feature of the TE100-S55, automatically detecting and selecting the optimum cable speed (10 or 100Mb) and signaling type (full or half duplex) for each port. When taking advantage of full duplex signaling, the TE100-S55 literally doubles network throughput to 200Mbps on Fast Ethernet segments and 20Mbps on 10Base-T segments.

From the Spanning Tree Configuration menu, you can Enable/Disable the STA function, change the switch priority and various timers. The STA functions and parameters are discussed in full detail on page 27.
