2-76 Duplex Modes

Setting the Operational Mode for the FE-100TX

You can manually set the FE-100TX to use any one of four operational modes. You

can also set the port to auto-negotiation, which allows the port to determine for

itself the best operational mode using the Advertised Abilities and Remote

Capabilities of the local and remote interface, respectively.

If you want to manually conÞgure the mode:

1. Click on the Desired Operational Mode list-box, and select one of the

following modes:

10Base-T—10 Mbps connection, Standard Mode

10Base-T Full Duplex—10 Mbps connection, Duplex Mode

100Base-TX—100 Mbps connection, Standard Mode

100Base-TX Full Duplex—100 Mbps connection, Duplex Mode

2. Click on Apply. The mode that you have chosen will be set at the port.

If you want the port to use auto-negotiation:

1. Click on the Desired Operational Mode list-box and select Auto

Negotiation.

2. Click in the Advertised Abilities check boxes to select either 10Base-T,

10Base-T Full Duplex, 100Base-TX, or 100Base-TX Full Duplex.

3. Click on Apply.

NOTE

Auto-negotiation is not available on the FE-100FX; therefore, the Advertised Abilities

and Remote Capabilities section of the Fast Ethernet ConÞguration window will be

grayed out when you are viewing the port conÞguration of an FE-100FX.

!

CAUTION

If you choose to select a speciÞc mode of operation (rather than auto-negotiation), you

should be sure that the link partner supports the same mode. Otherwise, no link will be

achieved.

If you select a full duplex mode and the link partner supports the same wire speed but not

full duplex, a link will be achieved, but it will be unstable and will behave erratically.

If you select auto-negotiation, the local node will try to match the mode of the link partner,

even if the link partner is not set to auto-negotiate, and even if the local node must use a

mode which it is not currently advertising.
