Duplex Mode – Select the port duplex mode. This field is configurable only when auto negotiation is disabled and the port speed is set to 10M or 100M. The possible field values are:

Half – Indicates the interface supports transmission between the device and the client in only one direction at a time.

Full – Indicates the interface supports transmission between the device and its link partner in both directions simultaneously.

Auto – Indicates the interface supports transmission between the device and the link partner based on the transmission mode of the link partner.

Auto Negotiation – Select the port auto negotiation status. Auto negotiation is a protocol between two link partners that enables a port to advertise its transmission rate, duplex mode, and flow control abilities to its partner. The possible field values are:

Enable – Enables auto negotiation. This is the default value.

Disable – Disables auto negotiation.

Back Pressure – Select the back pressure mode of the Port. Back Pressure mode is used with half duplex mode to disable ports from receiving messages. Back Pressure mode is disabled by default. The possible field values are:

Enable – Enables back pressure mode.

Disable – Disables back pressure mode.

Flow Control – Select the flow control status of the port. Operates when the port is in full duplex mode. Flow control is disabled by default. The possible field values are:

Enable – Enables flow control.

Disable – Disables Flow control.

MDI/MDIX – Select the MDI/MDIX status of the port. Hubs and switches are deliberately wired opposite the way end stations are wired, so that when a hub or switch is connected to an end station, a straight through Ethernet cable can be used and the pairs will match up properly. When two hubs or switches are connected to each other or two end stations are connected to each other, a crossover cable is used to ensure that the correct pairs are connected. The possible field values are:
