In normal operation, a port (25 or 26) with an FE-100TX auto-negotiates to the highest speed possible. Under some circumstances, the Network Administrator may want the port to advertise only some of the available modes and not advertise in other modes. This field steps to 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). To set the advertised ability, proceed as follows:

2.Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode.

3.Use the LEFT-ARROW key to move back to the Advertised Ability selection and use the SPACE bar to select the next mode to enable or disable.

4.Use the RIGHT-ARROW key to move across to the Enabled/Disabled field to the right of the selection.

5.Use the SPACE bar to select Enabled or Disabled. Press ENTER. Continue this process until you have completed enabling or disabling the advertised modes.

6.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory.
