5.14.5 Setting the FE-100TX Advertised Ability

In normal operation, a port (1 or 2) with an FE-100TX auto-negotiates to the highest speed possible. Under some circumstances, the Network Administrator may want the port to advertise only some of the available modes and not advertise in other modes. This field steps to 10Base-T, 10Base-TFD (full duplex), 100Base-TX, and 100Base-TXFD (full duplex). To set the advertised ability, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Advertised Ability field.

2.Use the SPACE bar to select the desired mode.

3.Use the arrow keys to move to the Enabled/Disabled field to the right of the desired mode and use the SPACE bar to select Enabled or Disabled. Press ENTER.

4.Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you have completed enabling or disabling the desired advertised modes.

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays and Local Management saves the changes to memory.

5.15FLASH DOWNLOAD SCREEN

The Flash Download screen, shown in Figure 5-20, allows the user to clear the information stored in the 2M46-04R FLASH memory and download a new image file from a TFTP server. Before downloading an image to the device, load the image onto the network TFTP server.

NOTES

The user may also force the download of an image by changing the position of Switch 6 located inside the device. Refer to Section C.2.1, Setting the Mode Switch, for details. If Switch 6 is toggled, the TFTP server must be located on a Fast Ethernet port.

For information on how to set up a workstation as a TFTP server, refer to the specific workstation documentation.

Boot PROM downloads (.hex) cannot be done through HSIM ports. If downloading through an HSIM, runtime download MUST be used. Firmware based downloads (.fls) can be done through any port.
