CONFIGURATION AND MANAGEMENT

Basic Port Settings

When using the Configure button to set port communication modes:

1.Use a long press (>2 seconds) to begin function selection. The Status LED will start to flash to indicate that functions may be selected. Use short presses (<2 seconds) to cycle through the status LEDs until the Full/Half LED lights. Use a long press to initiate port communication mode selection. After the button is released, the Full-DuplexLED for Port 1 will begin to flash.

2.Use long presses to cycle through to the chosen port. The selection of the targeted port will be indicated by the lighting of the Tx/Rx LED for that port.

3.Use a short press to change the communication mode for the targeted port. The chosen mode will be indicated by the Full-DuplexLED for the port (Lit = Full*, Unlit = Half).

4.Use a long press to enable the selection.

5.Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for each chosen port.

The default communication mode setting for all ports is Auto- Negotiation, which dynamically selects either half- or full-duplex mode and 10 or 100 Mbps operating speed in response to the operating mode of the attached device. Auto-Negotiation can be re-established after a manual port configuration by removing the RJ-45 connector from the corresponding port on the switch and then reinserting it.

*Note: Full-duplex mode can be used only for a dedicated link. When connecting to a shared collision domain (e.g., a hub), be sure the transmission mode is set for half-duplex mode.
