Chapter 6: Local Management
The following briefly explains each field of the High Speed Interface Configuration screen.
Port Type (Read-only)
Displays the name of the interface (FE-100FX or FE-100TX) installed in ports 15 and 16. Figure 6-13 shows that there is an FE-100TX interface installed in Port 15 and no interface [N/A] in Port 16.
Link Status (Read-only)
Indicates whether or not there is a physical connection from this port to another 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX/FX device. One of the following values appears:
•Link – There is a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX/FX link signal present; there is a valid physical connection from this port to another 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX/FX device.
•No Link – There is no 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX/FX link signal present; there is no valid physical connection from this port to another 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX/FX device.
Current Operational Mode (Read-only)
This field displays the current operating mode of ports 15 and 16. Depending on whether a 100Base-FX or 100Base-TX is installed, this field displays the following:
•With a 100Base-FX interface: 100Base-FXor 100Base-FXFD(full duplex)
•With a 100Base-TX interface: Unknown, 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD(full duplex), 100Base-TX, or 100Base-TXFD(full duplex).
Desired Operational Mode (Selectable)
This field allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an interface in port 15 or 16. The field toggles between 100Base-FX and 100Base-FXFD (full duplex) when an FE-100FX is installed.
Section 6.14.1 describes how to configure a port with an FE-100FX.
