The 9H42x-xx Module 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, then 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.

Setting the Device Date and Time

You can select the Edit Device Time and Edit Device Date options from the Device menu to change the date and time stored in the device’s internal clock.
