Other Settings

link-type:

(For wired 10/100/1000T Ethernet.) Set the print server's link speed (10, 100, 1000 Mbps) and communication mode (Full- or Half-Duplex). The available link-speed depends on the print server model. The communication modes are: AUTO,

1000FULL, 100AUTO, 100FULL, 100HALF, 10FULL, 10HALF.

For AUTO (default), the print server uses auto-negotiation to configure the highest link speed and communication mode allowed. If auto-negotiation fails, either 100TX HALF or 10TX HALF is set, depending on the detected link speed of the hub/switch port. (A 1000T half-duplex selection is not supported.)
