QuickSet Utility: Configuring the CSX500

Refer to the QuickSet QuickStart Guide located inside the QuickSet CD jewel case and follow the QuickSet procedure to configure the CSX500.

NOTE

Refer to the Read Me First! instruction sheet enclosed with the device to ensure that your PC is ready for the QuickSet configuration using the QuickSet CD.

Full or Half Duplex Configuration on the LAN Port

If the version of QuickSet that you are running does not have the button in QuickSet to change the duplex setting, use the following procedure.

The LAN port on the CSX500 is set to connect using half duplex by default. If a LAN connection is needed for full duplex, the CSX500 must be configured using Network Tools. Refer to the Cabletron Systems Local Management User’s Guide for CSX200, CSX400, CSX400-DC,HSIM-W6, and HSIM-W84to configure the CSX500 using Network Tools. Use the following procedure to set the port to full duplex:

1.Use this OID to change the LAN port from the default of half duplex to full duplex: ctIf Duplex: 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.3.3.2.1.1.5

2.Set the OID string to 3 (full) in order to set the port to full duplex. Set the OID string to 2 (standard) for the port to be set to half duplex speed.

NOTE

If the LAN connection required is half duplex, and the port is configured for full duplex, the connection may appear to work, but problems can occur on the network. To prevent data corruption, change the connection to the appropriate duplex setting.

If a bootp download is required at full duplex speed, an internal DIP switch must be accessed and switch 1 of the DIP switch set for the bootp to be successful. Refer to the Cabletron Systems Local Management User’s Guide for CSX200, CSX400, CSX400-DC,HSIM-W6, and HSIM-W84for more information on the bootp download procedure.
