Chapter 4: Local Management
Current Oper. Mode (Read-Only)
Displays the current operating mode of the port. Regardless of whether an HSIM-G01 or HSIM-G09 is installed, this field displays 1000Base-XFD.
Desired Oper. Mode (Toggle)
Allows the user to select the desired operational mode for an HSIM-G interface. The field toggles between Auto-Negotiation and 1000Base-XFD. Section 4.2.1 describes how to configure a port with an HSIM-G01 or HSIM-G09 interface.
In normal operation, the installed port automatically establishes a link with the device at the other end of the segment without requiring user setup. However, Local Management provides the user with the option of manually configuring the port.
With either the HSIM-G01 or the HSIM-G09 installed, the field toggles between Auto-Negotiation and 1000Base-XFD. In normal operation with an 802.3z compliant device at the other end of the link, the port installed is capable of auto-negotiating the operational mode and no further user setup is required. For devices that do not support Auto-Negotiation, 1000Base-XFD should be selected. The link partners must match on both sides of the link. Section 4.2.1 describes how to manually configure the HSIM-G.
Advertised Ability (Read-Only)
Displays the current advertised ability, which is 1000Base-XFD.
4.2.1Configuring the HSIM-G Port
In normal operation, an HSIM-G port automatically establishes a link when set to Auto-Negotiation (with an 802.3z compliant device at the other end of the segment) and no further user setup is required. To set the operation of the HSIM-G to auto-negotiate, refer to Section 4.2.1.1.
Section 4.2.1.1 and Section 4.2.1.2 provide instructions for manually configuring the port, normally done when there is a non-compliant device at the other end of the segment.
