Description

In most cases, the wireless VPN firewall can automatically determine the connection speed of the WAN port of the device (modem, dish, or router) that provides the WAN connection. If you cannot establish an Internet connection, you might need to manually select the port speed. If you know the Ethernet port speed of the modem, dish, or router, select it from the drop-down list. Use the half-duplex settings only if the full-duplex settings do not function correctly.

Select one of the following speeds from the drop-down list:

•AutoSense. Speed autosensing. This is the default setting, which can sense all Ethernet speeds and duplex modes, including 1000BASE-T speed at full duplex.

•10BaseT Half_Duplex. Ethernet speed at half duplex.

•10BaseT Full_Duplex. Ethernet speed at full duplex.

•100BaseT Half_Duplex. Fast Ethernet speed at half duplex.

•100BaseT Full_Duplex. Fast Ethernet speed at full duplex.

•1000BaseT Half_Duplex. Gigabit Ethernet speed at half duplex.

•1000BaseT Full_Duplex. Gigabit Ethernet speed at full duplex.
