5.14.1.1 Setting the FE-100FX or FE-100F3 Operational Mode
Use the Desired Oper. Mode field to set the active technology. This field
toggles between 100Base-FX and 100Base-FXFD (full duplex). To set the
active technology through Local Management, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select 100Base-FX or 100Base-FXFD (full
duplex).
3. Press ENTER. The port now operates in the chosen mode.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER.
The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves
the changes to memory.
5.14.2 Configuring an FE-100TX
In normal operation, a port (5 or 6) with an FE-100TX interface
automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the
segment and no user setup is required. Section 5.14.2.1 and
Section 5.14.2.2 provide instructions for manually configuring the port
with an FE-100TX installed.
5.14.2.1 Setting the FE-100TX Operational Mode
Use the Desired Oper. Mode field to set the active technology. This field
steps between Auto-Negotiation, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex),
100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). If Auto-Negotiation is
selected, the FE-100TX automatically sets the active technology. To
manually set the active technology through Local Management, proceed
as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Desired Oper. Mode field.
2. Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode. Press ENTER. If any
mode other than Auto-Negotiation is selected, the port only operates
in the chosen mode and Auto-Negotiation is disabled.
