The Device View

Configuring Fast Ethernet Ports on First Generation Modules

The Fast Ethernet Configuration window available for Fast Ethernet ports on first generation modules (e.g., 6H122-xx and 6H128-08) allows you to both view and set those ports’ available modes. All 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports can be configured to operate in either standard Ethernet (10 Mbps) or Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) mode, and in each mode can be configured to operate in Full Duplex, effectively doubling the available wire speed (from 10 to 20 Mbps in standard Ethernet mode, or from 100 to 200 Mbps in Fast Ethernet mode); 100Base-FX (fiber) ports can be configured to operate in their standard 100 Mbps mode, or in Full Duplex mode. This window also displays the mode currently in effect on the selected interface, and provides some information (where it is available) about the interface’s link partner.

To access the Fast Ethernet Configuration Window:

1.From the Device View, click to select the port you wish to configure; the Port Menu will display.

2.Click on Configuration. The Fast Ethernet Configuration window, Figure 2-15, will appear.

To access the Fast Ethernet Configuration window on SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 MicroLAN modules (e.g., 6H123-50):
