The 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX/LX and 1000BASE-T
modules are all fixed at the indicated speed and duplex mode.
All media types can auto-negotiate flow control.
Default Type 10HDX
(except
100FX)
If auto-negotiation is disabled, the port will be set to the
indicated speed and duplex mode.
Current Type Indicates the current speed and duplex mode.
Flow Control Off Used to enable or disable flow control. Flow control can
eliminate frame loss by blocking traffic from end stations or
segments connected directly to the switch when its buffers fill.
When enabled, 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. For the Gigabit
modules the options for flow control are set out below:
Switch Link Partner Flow Control
Rcv/BothWay SendOnly Switch can only receive pause
frames, link partner can only
send pause frames.
Rcv/BothWay BothWay Both switch and link partner can
send and receive pause frames.
Jack Type Shows the jack type for each port.
Ports 1-11, 13-23: RJ-45.
Ports 12, 24: either RJ-45 or FIBER.
Ports 25-26: RJ-45, FIBER
The gigabit ports (25 and 26) are optional. They are provided as slide-in module. Each
port can be empty (unplugged), copper (type 1GBaseT), or fiber (type 1GSX/LX). The
user can change the gigabit modules after the switch is off. The Switch will automatically
detect the changes and update the information as soon as the power is up again. Note
that the speed of the gigabit module is fixed at 1G.
