4 (100 Mbit/half duplex), or 5 (100 Mbit/full duplex).

Ethernet connection type: (0) ? _

Security Settings

Security settings can only be changed using Setup Mode, through a Telnet or serial connection.

Note: As recommended, set security over the dedicated network or over the serial setup. If the parameters are set over the network (Telnet 9999), someone else could capture these settings.

Caution: Disabling both Telnet Setup and Port 77FE prevents users from accessing the setup menu from the network.
