Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View

For 100Base-FX ports, options are:

100Base-FX— 100 Mbps connection, Standard Mode

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

2.If you have selected Auto Negotiation (for 100Base-TX ports only), use the Advertised Abilities field to select the operational capabilities you wish to advertise to the port’s link partner. If both link partners will be auto-negotiating, be sure there is at least one mutually-advertised operational mode, or no link will be achieved.

The selected Advertised Abilities only come into play when both link partners are

TIP auto-negotiating; if only one link partner is set to auto-negotiate, that node will establish a link at whatever mode its partner is set to, even if that mode is not currently being advertised.

3.Click on to save your changes. Some window fields will refresh immediately and display the new settings; to manually refresh the window, simply close, the re-open it, or just re-select the Configuration option from the appropriate Port menu. Note that it may take a few minutes for mode changes to be completely initialized, particularly if the link partners must negotiate or re-negotiate the mode; you may need to refresh the window a few times before current operational data is displayed.

Configuring COM Ports

You can use the COM Port Configuration window (Figure 2-18) to specify the function each of the two RS232 COM ports available on the 7X00 Controller module will perform. To do so:

1.Click mouse button 3 on the Port Status or Port Index box for the COM port you wish to configure. The COM Port Menu will appear; remember, this menu is available in all Application Display modes.

2.Drag down to Configuration, and release. The COM Port Configuration window, Figure 2-18, will appear.
