9E428-12/36 and 9E429-12/36 Module Specific Information

Full Duplex Configuration Screen Fields

The following information briefly explains each Full Duplex Configuration Screen field.

OPERATION MODE (Modifiable)

Indicates whether the specified port will transmit and receive data separately or simultaneously. You can set this field to one of the following values:

STANDARD ENET - The port can either transmit data or receive data, but not both at the same time. Therefore, the port is running at 10 Mbps (this is the default).

FULL DUPLEX - The port can transmit and receive data at the same time. Therefore, the port is running at 20 Mbps.

LINK STATUS

Indicates whether there is a physical connection from this port to another 10Base- FL device. One of the following values appears:

Link - There is a 10Base-FL link signal present; there is a valid physical connection from this port to another 10Base-FL device.

No Link - There is no 10Base-FL link signal present; there is no valid physical connection from this port to another 10Base-FL device.

PORT STATUS

Indicates whether the port has been turned on or off administratively. You will see one of the following values:

ENABLED - The port is turned on administratively.

DISABLED - The port is turned off administratively.

NOTE

Enable or disable ports from the Bridge Configuration screen.
