Viewing the Current Port Configuration
Device Control Menu Screens 7-7
Parameter Description
Type Shows port type as:
10/100TX: 10Base-T/100Base-TX
100FX: 100Base-FX
1000SX: 1000Base-SX
1000LX: 1000Base-LX
Operational Shows if the port is, or is not, functioning.
Link Indicates if the port has a valid connection to an external
device.
Flow Control InUse Shows the flow control type in use. Flow control can
eliminate frame loss by “blocking” traffic from end stations
connected directly to the switch. Back pressure is used for
half duplex and IEEE 802.3x for full duplex. Note that flow
control should not be used if a port is connected to a hub.
Speed and Duplex InUse Displays the current port speed and duplex mode used.
